Was up really early, took my son to school and headed out across the state for another glorious company meeting. My blue Angel with the fresh paint was just cruisin along, it was the best part of the day.
I get to the meeting, sit in boring sessions and finally got a break about 12:00.
I go out to get something from the car, I open the hatch and all of a sudden.....
BOOM!
I duck for cover, as I spin around a truck has flipped about 30 feet behind me. There was an intersection in the downtown St. Pete area, some young girl in an econo car ran a red light and plowed in to the side of a speeding pickup. The little econo can was completely mangled in the front, the airbags deployed. I was first to get to them. The driver of the truck was moving and trying to get out when a couple more bystanders arrived. They assisted him while I went over to the girl and checked her out. She wasn't injured and could move, the car was smoking a bit so I helped her out and over to the side of the road.
I gotta tell you, the sound was an awful reminder of my accident. The pickup lost it's topper and parts and debris were strewn everywhere, fortunately there were no serious injuries. The police arrived along with the EMS team, I gave them a rundown, let them know I didn't see the actual event and I was outa there.
Went back across the parking lot, and back into another 3 hours of meetings. I actually had to leave a bit early, it was a 1:45 drive back home and I had to pick up my son from school by 5:30. The camaro just hummed along the back roads..... again, one of the best parts of the day. I get back home, log on and flush all the spammer's registrations.
So.... slow day, guys?
