No Margheritas.Honest. I have been going down these streets since I was 3 years old- when something out of the ordinary happens- you notice.

The distance is 7 blocks, no stops, speed about 20 mph.

I have a witness, my Mother, who was with me, she doesn't drink and certainly owuld have poured my Margheritas out or worse had I been drinking which is something I do not do .

So , here it is . You now have to convince my Mom that what we both saw was an illusion, a mirage- quite possibly these were angels and they were sparing us form a danger we can only guess.

I agree. I have seen several wrecks - the cleanup -up and towing takes time.

How in the world it was all gone in two minutes is baffling. No patrol cars, no tow truck, no evidence on the road like broken glass etc. Nothing. As if it never happened.

It was very twilightish.

And now I leave you with a quote from one of Rod Serling's closing narrations:

"Couldn't happen you say? Far-Fetched? Way-out? Tilt-of center? Possible, but the next time you buy an automobile, if it happens to look as if it had gone thru the battle of the Marne, and the seller is ready to throw into the bargain one of his arms,be particulary careful in explaining to the boss about your grandmothers funeral when you were actually at Chavez Ravine watching the Dodgers. It'll be a fact that you are the proud possessor of of an instrument of truth manufactured and distributed by an exclusive dealer in the Twilight Zone"

how many of those marguiritas did you have? :)

any possibility you went to the wrong street on the other side? there's no way they could have gotten any sort of truck back on its wheels in two minutes. or even five minutes. not without the tow truck showing up and standing around talking for ten minutes. those tow truck guys are NOT fast. and it ain't very likely all those cops got together and pushed the truck back upright.

i think you went down the wrong street. only logical explanation.

either that or the marguiritas. :)
