Yesterday as I was about to cross evil Watson, I witnessed a huge traffic accident right in front of me, and called it in.  It was like in a movie–a car darted out of 7-eleven and smashed into an suv, which flipped over multiple times and landed right-side-up in the middle of the road.  Vehicles were skewed all over the place, blocking the road, or trying to find a way out.

Somehow the elderly couple in the suv survived with minor injuries, and chose not to go to the hospital.  I don’t think the other guy died, but it was a head-on collision, so it couldn’t have ended well.  I stayed with the couple as the emergency teams checked them over.  I think I was almost as in shock as they were.

So much can happen in a split second to change your life, or end it.  I have so much respect for EMTs who respond to emergencies with professionalism and efficiency.

That pretty much set the tone of my day!  Avdi said, “Touch grass”, so I dug up the rest of the potatoes, and watered the garden.  Then I decorated for K’s birthday, and did other housey things.  Avdi took K out for sushi, while I made dinner for the rest of us.  Y and I played in the kitchen.  Later we had cheesecake.  J drove me home and I collapsed.
