Near Death Experience

For those of you who know about the root canal and my recent tooth pain...this isn't about that.

So I get to leave a few minutes early today from work thanks to working late due to elections. Whilst minding my own business on the drive home (on a certain state highway that needs work) I wander through a one-mile area infamously known as Dead Man's Curve (yes, it's curvy the whole mile...many people have been killed in this one-mile stretch of road).

I'm on the last curve of that section when, as I'm beginning to bear to the left, a jeep comes around as if it's about to hit me head on! I hit the side of the road as fast as I can and see this jeep come within inches of hitting me as it goes by my driver-side window!! This idiot may have even missed the fact he almost hit me...because as I look back quickly to try and get the tag number, he's IN THAT LANE! WHAT IS WRONG WITH THESE PEOPLE!?!? I almost needed to pull off the side of the road to catch my breath and slow down the blood pressure...

I've driven this route almost a year to the freakin' day I started on a regular basis and this makes the first time something like this has happened! I'm willing to bet seriously that it was one of those stupid high school students who can't drive to save their lives! I either need to drive a different route (unlikely) or move (unlikely again) or find another job! I might move if I could afford it...
