CP cheats death once more

[Cadaverous Pallor]

I'm driving home on the freeway, probably going about 70. I'm humming to Clap Your Hands Say Yeah and turn my head to change lanes.

BAM.

A very loud, very shocking noise as something hits my windshield. It took me a moment to understand what had happened as I didn't see any of it. My first thought was - gotta pull over, now.

I get over and take stock. A 5 inch divot of crushed glass right in front of my face. Spider cracks over half of the windshield. I'm covered in a shower of tiny flakes of safety glass. A pinprick of blood is on my arm.

I called GD to calm myself down and eventually drove myself home slowly. Took a shower to get all the glass off and am now getting drunk.

I really did cheat death. If that object, whatever it was, had been a little harder, a little faster, it could have busted through and hit me in the face. I could have had a serious car accident. I kept looking at that menacing divot and thinking about the end of my life on August 3rd, 2006.

I have no idea what is was or where it came from. It took all of my attention to get me over to the side of the road.

All I can say is, damn, it's good to be alive.
