Some time away

Well first and foremost, I just wanna say that I have been blogging for over a year now. I have logged 39 entries over the past year, so almost one a week. So yeah...on to the rest of my boring life.

Well I just got back from a trip to North Carolina with my sister Michelle. Three long days in the car and we travled over 2200 miles in about 36 hours of actual driving. Maybe a little less but close to that. So anyways, I'm glad to be back for several reasons,

1. I don't have to ride in a car for 10-12 hours every day.
2. I don't have to drive 5-7 hours every day
3. I don't have to drive Michelle's car.

Yeah Number 3 is probably the one I'm most glad about. Don't get me wrong, her car is fine, I just hate it. She has the funniest stick shift I have ever seen. The clutch is so weird and, dumb, and its kinda heavy too. Luckily we did our driving on the freeways so shifting was minimal. Plus its just small. My car is so much bigger than my sisters, with so much more pep. The engine is a little smaller, but my car gets up and goes. Michelle's takes forever to accelerate, plus her gear ratio is much higher so you spend a lot more time in between shifting.

So about the trip, very uneventful. Except this one time when we were driving and this car like not 20 feet in front of us back right tire blew out at 75MPH. It yanked his car to the right violently, and like anyone would do, he yanked the wheel to the left. This in turn caused his vehicle to flip and roll across the lanes of traffic, luckily there weren't any other cars besides us and we barely escaped crashing into the car. It was truly the grace of God. I stopped the car and we got out to go to the crash site, after we called 911. Amazingly enough everone in the car survived and only one was seriously hurt. This guy's kid's lives were saved because they were in car seats. The only bad thing is the mom wasn't wearing a seat beat and was thrown from the car. I guess she was pretty bloody, the body had been taken to the hospital by the time I got there. We had to leave a statement with the police and then we went on our merry way. Well, that sorta thing shakes you up so It wasn't too merry. Anyways, that's pretty much it. We just sat there, listened to tunes, and yah know, sat there. So it was fun....I guess....
