| Here is a collection of ruminations and whatnot. |
| One Sunday I drove myself to a Starbucks store but on the way there on a highway called Veterans Memorial Highway, I fell asleep briefly at the wheel. I awoke realizing what happened and fortunately there were no other cars nearby, and yet I gripped the steering wheel and maneuvered or overcorrected and got the right wheel bang up against the curb and it got the car over the curb and I corrected again to get the car back on the road. I sat in the car stunned. I felt a bit disappointed that this happened. I really wanted to go to Starbucks where I could write, while enjoying a coffee. I had no cell phone and the laptop had no means to get any wireless communication. Fortunately there was a store nearby and I walked over to ask for the use of a telephone. I called 911, and they said to wait for a police officer. The Police Office arrived and he looked a bit shy about looking around the car. There were still no traffic in the area. He told me he was going to call a tow truck to come and give me a hand. The tow truck arrived. He towed the car to a nearby parking lot near a bank. I thought of how best to pay him as I knew I had no money to pay for this tow or the replacement of the tire with the spare. He did not seem to press me on it when I confessed I had no money. He said he will call his manager. They both agreed to let me have a free pass. I was very grateful. I decided after he replaced the spare to continue on to Starbucks where I spent a few hours there. I sent an email to my stepfather, however, telling him about this accident. The tire was replaced presently. The bastards got together to make the sun's power exert itself on my consciousness rendering me 'dead' and that was why I had that phenomenon of 'falling asleep at the wheel'. |
