Tough start to fathers day.
6 am, on my way to work I came upon a late '90's model blazer weaving from passing lane to shoulder. As the truck wandered to the shoulder the second time, I dropped from 6th to 4th and shot from 60 - 90 and in a blink I was past. I my mirror I watched in horror as the driver overcompensated and started to roll. 3 times side roll ending in upside down facing the wrong way in the shoulder of the passing lane.
I reached for my cell, dialed 911, hit the 4-ways and raced back the 20 or so car lengths to the wreckage. By this time the driver had crawled out of the sliver that was the drivers window and stood severely shaken before me.
I asked her if she knew her name and if she knew what had happened. She told me her name was Lisa and she couldn't steer the truck and she was in an accident. Since her truck was now smoking from the fluids leaking on the hot engine, I hurried her back to my car where we waited for the authorities.
There is so much to the story, but that's the idea anyway. Count your blessings. Tell your children you love them. Tell your parents you love them.
Happy Father's Day
