On my way home from dropping Clark off at school, I saw an accident. Very weird. When I am leaving my home to go shopping or Clark's school, right before I turn right, there is a road that merges onto my road. There is a yield sign for the people merging onto my road. Somebody in a truck (I think it was) was coming up my road to turn right. I was just turning left to go home, so I saw it all. I saw a black Suburban merging onto the road, but was not stopping! I don't know if the truck saw the Suburban or not. If it did, the he/she may have thought the lady was going to slow down and wait for him/her to pass. But the lady in the suburban of course keep going and the guy/gal in the truck swiped off her front left headlight and bumper. It would have been too late for the person in the truck to stop at that point because I think he/she hit the suburban at the bind spot. (If that all made sense...)

I look at that intersection, but I will definitely be very attentive to it now. They will probably add a stop sign there now. I am also glad that I made the effort to leave earlier this morning because it would have been me that would have side swiped the Suburban! At least it wouldn't have been my fault, right? What a rotten start to a week for both of those drivers. Yuck!

Yeah on our way out to Lee's graduation we passed an accident that had just barely happened and they were covering up a body...it was very sobering to say the least. Oh and you don't have to approve this comment if you don't want to...
