shite like this or my aunt being killed by a drunk driver can make me spend hours thinking about the numerous variables that all have to happen for someone to meet death like this.



yeah. i drive about 40k miles a year and about 75% of it's on 35 up to dallas or down to Austin/SA. it's nuts to think about how one stop, having to pee, leaving a minute earlier or later and i could have been dead. i've probably passed 20 fatal accidents in the last year.

I grew up about 35 miles north of Salado and my girlfriend lives in Belton, about 10 miles north. She was driving to Austen yesterday and the bridge collapsed about 7-8 minutes after she had driven through Salado. Crazy.

I try not to think about it to much lest I end up like Clyde Bruckman.

but yeah, I mean your wife nagging you about something can kill you or save your life...something that literally takes 5 seconds, catch this light, etc.

the confluence of events is astounding sometimes. Think about governor perry, ran under a tree branch right when it broke and fell on him.
