After I spent all that time downloading digital copies of his movies on there. It still works but the last thing I wanted to deal with before this trip!

I groan about the defensive driving course my company makes me take every year, but last night when a FJ Cruiser going the wrong way on the highway smacked the dodge neon head on and started flipping towards us at 70 mph...it was my following distance that allowed us to live last night. #grateful.
What a difference one second makes. We went down it the ditch and luckily didn't flip our vehicle. We got back up to the shoulder and called the highway patrol. My wife was in tears and just said "Thank you for saving our lives." The dodge neon was straddling the concrete divider and the entire right side of the vehicle was gone.

I kept talking the the driver of the dodge who was in and out of consciousness until emergency crews got there. Both drivers were awake and taken by helicopter. My thoughts are with them both. My youngest boy was in the back seat and had no clue what we just went through. All I could think about was if we get hit that my wife and son survive me.

@Ha3rvey (Still here): thank you, my friend. We are very fortunate! I wonder if I have to report it to work as a near miss?

Wow, I'm glad you guys are okay. My dad's defensive driving teaching has saved my life before, as well. I recommend it to anyone, no matter where or how much you drive.

I am so glad that you and your family came away from that safe! I hope the other drivers and their passengers are okay.

Glad things worked out for you and your family as well as they did. Even so, an event like that is traumatic. It's a blessing that your son wasn't fully aware of what transpired. I suggest you all engage in group hugs early and often.

Take care, that's quite frightening just to read. Like Vicster said hope everyone recovers.

Wee man's 2nd bday is in 9 days and I'm trying to learn to make balloon animals. So far I made a 6 legged dog with one ear and a paraplegic bear. Might need to change the theme from Blues Clues to genetic experimentation lab!
OH: (Sung in Disco style) "Boogie, boogie maaaaaan, dance, dance, dance! Boogie boogie ma-an!" Me: "it's boogie wonderland. You are desecrating Earth,Wind and Fire." Them: "I'm not into astrology." WTF?
You ever have that time where you go to pick up a small child who is crying at 2 AM, you scoop them up in your arms to comfort them and you are hit with a stream of vomit in the face? You are fighting your own gag reflex and remembering its not good to drop the mini Linda Blair while acidic muck is now beneath your feet. Yeah, that.
Ended up sleeping in the guest bedroom after going through all 3 sets of linens for our bed throughout the night. I may just burn them and go buy new ones.

I just want to go on the record to state that the kitchenaid garlic press sucks balls. I can mince 4 cloves quicker than I can unclog that worthless gadget. I'm Huntur, and I approved this message.
Cook's Illustrated recommended Rosle, Zyliss (though they said the nonstick coating was peeling on theirs), and Kuhn Rikon. FWIW, my mom has the Rosle one and you can fire a few cloves through it, one after the other, without even peeling 'em.
