BREAKING NEWS:
Normally I drive just fine but every once and a while I do something stupid, like going too fast during a rainstorm. This was such a time. I hit a wet patch and ended up in the grass due to a lovely combination of water, stones, and stupidity (going too fast). I crashed into a brick column.
I am not someone who has much faith in humanity.
After all, the people directly behind me and in front of me didn’t bat an eye when I acted like a moron and said “hello” to the sign.
Well, my faith was restored today thanks to these fine people:
First a woman stopped.
Then two men (complete strangers) in separate trucks.
Then a couple stopped. They both got out of their SUV to check on me.
Then a man stopped.
Then another man.
Then another woman.
Then a couple of guys in a big truck. I missed the name of the company on the side.
Then an older gentleman.
That’s a total of 11 people in about an hour’s time.
Fortunately I was not injured…just slightly embarrassed and not going into work.
Now, this blog is brand new and not even Cheezbot is following me. I just wanted to share this and acknowledge the kindness of others. Thank you to those eleven strangers who came to check on me! I greatly appreciated your concern! <3
