First, life is about lessons. Hopefully we can learn from them. Below is a close shave story that happened today Wednesday March 2,2022.
I'm up in my office and I can see the street below. Out of the corner of my eye I see the asphalt truck go by. When I get outside I see the truck parked 10ft past my driveway. I jog a short distance and turn right on the sidewalk. Making that turn slightly hurt my left knee. As I approach the truck he takes off. I watch as he goes down street but I see that he comes to a stop at the side of the road. I live on a busy 2 lane road. I walk 600 ft to catch up to them. Two guys patching potholes in center of the road. Their truck has a yellow metal container that slips into the truck bed. It's like an oven to keep the macadam hot, with a small opening at bottom to pull out the macadam by shovel. The 2 guys are now behind the truck to get more shovel fulls of macadam then they walk it to the center of road, to fix hole. As I'm talking to them a blue camaro type of car flies by at around 80 plus miles per hour. The camaro is heading down the street in opposite lane, he's on our side of the road passing cars in front of him. There are six cars in front of him and he's passing all of them at once. That's one crazy A.... H. By me talking to the guys about filling a hole in front of my house, I distracted them from their job. They'r talking to me behind their truck. If I wasn't there they would of loaded their shovels with macadam and walked it to the center of the road. The car was moving too fast to react in time, they would have been in all likely hood......dead.
I acted in my interest and wound up helping spirit save those two souls. That's a big. WOW!!!
