Well, these events happen and remind me of my somewhat less serious
on-the-road
miss-fortunes...    I'm just glad you made it off of the road safely and
didn't become a
Darwin candidate in the process of evading traffic.    On an otherwise
eventless day, I
do enjoy reading this stuff but I do want all of you out there in whatever
vehicle you're
transporting in to be careful and have a good TG.....

Cheers!
