This was a close one folks. Some of my loved ones almost got a really bad phone call tonight. I was doing about 55 on a local road and some apparently blind man decided to make a profoundly insane left turn which, at my speed, would certainly have killed me. Or at least put me in the ICU. Maybe he thought he had time to make the turn? He did not have time. Maybe he didn't see me. I don't know. But I saw him at the *very* last second and STOMPED on the brakes. Narrowly missed him. I am freaked out by the closeness of the call. Closest call of my life, which will now continue. Wow.
