For the everything-happens-for-a-reason file.

A few weeks ago, a red light failed to register in my consciousness, and I wrecked my car. (Wow, my post comes up first when I Google "I just wrecked my car"!) Today, I was driving my new car down the snowy hill near my house, with no lights or stop signs, and a young woman on a light blue moped (which she had been driving on the sidewalk) rode right out in front of me, from a side street that had a stop sign. I had been watching her and wasn't going to drive through until I saw her stop, and so there was never the slightest chance that I could have hit her. She had never even turned her head to look my way.

Please use the comments forum to respond to the post. Don't fight with each other. Be substantive... or interesting... or funny. Comments should go up immediately... unless you're commenting on a post older than 2 days. Then you have to wait for us to moderate you through. It's also possible to get shunted into spam by the machine. We try to keep an eye on that and release the miscaught good stuff. We do delete some comments, but not for viewpoint... for bad faith.
