[at-l] Hiking sickness

[rcli4 at comcast.net (rcli4@comcast.net)]

This morning I got up early and went to the bank.  On the way I stopped at the local gas station an got a cup of coffee.  I went thru the drive thru and pulled onto the access road that goes to the strip mall behind the bank.  I pulled up to the intersection and was stopped at the light.  A dump truck was turning into the street I was on.  Something distracted him and he drove straight in to the front of my truck.  The airbag released and white powder was everywhere.  I pushed the bag to one side and my hood was two feet higher in the middle.  My leg hurt like hell.  I was afraid to look down.  The first thing that popped into my head was Dammit there goes my hike.  I finally got the courage to look at my leg and there was a large stain where the hot coffee had poured all over it.  There was nothing wrong with me.  I jumped out and asked the truck driver if he was all right.  He began apologizing and begging for forgiveness.  When we were all done with the cops and were walking away the driver said man I have never met anyone so happy when they just had a wreck.  I told him I didn't need the truck I was taking up walking.  He sure looked at me funny.

It's a good sickness

Sorry to hear about the truck - a death in the family is always hard to take.
