Commuting to Burlington has created a lot of close calls while driving. The most memorable has been the matrix like moment on 128 when a tire iron flew off a dump truck going about 80mph, in THE SLOW LANE. It whirled at me in a weird slow motion. I cringed waiting for the thing to blow through my windshield. It bounced off my bumper and went over the windshield and rattled across the roof rack. Phew.

But statistics say most accidents happen within a mile of home.

For us, it happened in the our own driveway!

Last night a gust a wind took down the basketball hoop and guess where it landed?

DAMN IT!!!!
