How blessed you have been Leppi!
By comparison, January 2005,
on 750 mile trip from Georgia to Ohio,
at about 1:30 AM in Kentucky,
rain at the Tennessee border had turned to sleet
and then to snow and 18-wheelers surrounded me
and paced me as their roadwash blinded me.
As I slowed down to let them go on, they slowed down too.
As I got an opening to pass them in the passing lane,
the lead truck swerved over into my lane blinding me again
as I found myself swerving out of control on snow-covered ice.
I watched the center wall approach as I was barreling into it about 60 mph.
First time I ever had an air bag discharge in a vehicle.
My mixed blessing was surviving with minor scratches
on my wrists and forehead.
Out of all who passed me for next 20 minutes, nobody stopped.
My adventure continued after a state patrol came and took the
accident report and got a wrecker to pry the front end away from the tires.
I got to continue to drive in that weather with a door that wouldn't close because it was bent out around the edges, one surviving headlight which only pointed to the sky on that stormy night,
and other drivers cutting right in front of me as soon as they passed to give me their roadwash which froze the windshield wipers on the frozen windshield. God let me survive 5 hours like that before daylight and then another 4 hours driving in daylight, stopping often to scrape the windshield. Arriving at my destination, fortune continued to smile on me as the insurance company totalled the 4-wheel drive jeep (which I had felt safe in) for over $2000 less than I still owed on it, leaving me that much further in debt and without the jeep.
Any chance you could have your angel talk to my angel about
improving customer service?
