Right On Time

To round off my streak of odd fortune, this morning after I dropped M. off outside his office, I waited by a stop light to make a left turn. I inched up a bit, anticipating the advanced green…and it’s a good thing I did. The next thing I saw was a green car flying over the median , sent careening over some ice so that it was airborne for what seemed like 10 seconds. It landed just millimeters away from my trunk, with a loud “crash” sound as it hit the pavement, hard, facing oncoming traffic. Bits of metal and ice sheets were just flying off it, I looked back at the car in time to see the little shower of parts end.I narrowly missed yet another collision. Don’t think I’ll update my doc with this incident–just don’t want to give it that much mental space. But this is incident number 3. It’s happening, I’m accepting it, and I’m hoping it will wrap up soon.
