Dude that hit me was sober, just put the hammer down and lost the wheel. Still an asshole though. If I had not thrown the wheel to the right he woulda hit me head on and killed me. I have had a greater appreciation for what is really good in life since then, smell of the dogwoods in spring, watching three or four deer paddle across the deep part of the river, the majesty of the flight of the great blue heron as she takes off, so in a roundabout way I am glad the accident happened.
