In an Instant


Shannon spent the July 4th holiday with us.  After we returned her to her home, decided to get some ice cream from Clarks in town.  Was surprised that the holiday crowd had not yet arrived.  Parked the car and were standing in line to make our choice when we we were surprised by the crunching sound of two cars crashing across the street.  This shop is at a minor intersection with a light so traffic is pretty predictable.  Not today,  both occupants were ok but well shaken as they walked to the other side of the avenue. The police arrived and interviewed both participants.  There did not appear to be any impairments. Maybe both in a good mood were saying "the day's been going good so far" then bam! sliding onto the sidewalk, air bags deployed and folded fenders.  

One of the truisms learned from this observation is that things can change in an instant.  A good day can become bad in an instant, a blink of an eye.  All the accidents I was in happened like this.  

Maybe words of wisdom

all for now

stay safe
