Midsize v. Pickup v. SUV v. Pickup v. Midsize
I was saving this as a Birthday Surprise, the spread of my great influence from the national to local:
I did it again! The intersection of death is getting crosswalks, walk/don’t walk signal boxes, and some sort of traffic light!
However, it is not finished yet. The lights aren’t up and the signal boxes are still covered, so this afternoon we heard a CRASH that shook our house. I thought momentarily that perhaps Lolly had fallen down the stairs …carrying a 27 inch television set and at least two five gallon water bottles… or that a surly mailman delivered something very large and heavy to the front porch. (That defibrillator on my Amazon Wish List perhaps?) But no, ’twas another accident. There were large chunks of debris in the intersection, bumpers and car doors etc., but many airbags were deployed and apparently no one was seriously injured.
Due to the fact that someone in authoritah has obviously been reading my blog (I suspect the mayor, at least, if not Governor Gregoire) and is attempting to remedy the situation, I didn’t feel the need to take photos. Also I was only wearing a bath towel at the time and there was commotion enough.
… thank you very much. I will take the credit for the rejection of the yellow rubber bracelet.
