I see angels on Ariels

[cyrano]

I am completely uninjured.

One would not expect that the first reaction to a huge adrenaline spike would be "I need a Coke."
One would be mistaken.
File this under tags for idiot, SUV, turn signals motherfucker use them.

I am very glad that you are not only uninjured but completely uninjured. Hugs to you!

I'm pretty glad as well. Hugs to you too!

I'm glad you weren't hurt, but I wish I could say I was surprised.

I drive defensively. I don't speed. Yet I'm surrounded by ass-hats who constantly endanger my safety through their negligence/bad driving. I also see accidents on 101 on a regular basis, (much more than I used to.)

And I think that's the thing that fills me with rage--doing all the 'right' things and still being pretty much at the mercy of the appalling driving habits of the people I have to share the road with.

That's what "drives" me up the wall also. People don't understand they don't have the right to endanger the health and safety of others, or they fail to understand they're pushing around 1-2 tons of metal and plastic, and just how much damage their irresponsibility can do.

It doesn't help that people are stressed out and distracted nowadays.

oh ye gods -_-;
*hug* Thank goodness for the uninjured part!

Red hair and black leather, my favorite color scheme

This one would expect that; I consider Coke a comfort food.

Joining the chorus of those glad you're uninjured.

And the Coke makes perfect sense to me: lots of sugar, which is good for shock. Years ago I had a nasty motorcycle crash and made my way to a gas station. The first thing I did was buy a Coke and some aspirin, and only then called a friend with a truck to come get me.

Is there something in the air this week? Another friend was t-boned by an idiot who ran a red light. No injuries in that accident either, but what the hell?

It's good to hear from you! You just put a smile on my face.

I blame the spring weather--people who normally aren't paying attention are paying even less attention now. But I'm cynical.

Don't be too mad at them, they're distracted by the leather and chrome.
