Another Day...
Hello Everyone.
I hoep you all had a wonderful, and safe, New Year. I had a near death experience last night. I was driving home from a friends house out in Edina (his name is Charlie. We were friends in high school), and for those who don't know, we had a horrible rain storm on Saturday night, which turned into an Ice Storm. There was even lightning! I've never seen lightning in January before! It was crazy. So I was driving down 94, the big highway throught hte twin cities, going about 30 miles an hour, because it was so slippery, when a car angrily passed me going way to fast. They swerved over into my lane, to try and cut me off or something, and started to fish tail all over the place. I swerved to try and get out of their way, which caused my to fish tail as well. The car that cut my off ended up slamming into the median (serves them right) scarping up the side of their car, while I did a completed 360 across the highway, and ended up basically changing lanes. I'm sure it looked really cool from outside, like I did it on purpose or something, but I screamed like a little girl at the top of my lungs. Luckily, there were no other cars around, because it could have been a lot worse than just the guy scrapping up and denting the side of his car. So I made it home safely after that. What an adrenaline rush though. Icy roads are not much fun.
Well, I hope you're all doing well. I'm off to bed, since I get to wake up nice and early for work. Horay!

Good job! You're still alive. I hate being in cars that do that, because it is quite the scare. I remember back in highschool, my brother was picking me up (because I'm deathly affraid of driving), and he decided to burn out of the lot or something, but he fish tailed, and made black marks all over the road, until we got to 180, then he just flew off... 'Twas embarrassing as hell, but it was the talk of school the next day (maybe the insurance office too).

Yea well, I'm just glad I was in the car by myself, because I'm pretty sure I screamed at the top of my lungs like a woman. Not that there's anythign wrong with the way women scream. It's just not very dignified for a guy to do it. ;)
