while walking the main road I'm hit and killed by a motorist and it is reported as a suicide don't believe it. A lot of the vehicles that I meet hardy move over away from me as they speed by. I do step off the road in a timely manner but the shoulder doesn't allow for more than one giant step most of the time.
So far this spring I've seen seven small snakes flattened near the edge of the road. When I step off the road I try to make sure I've a snake free step available but once in awhile I have got to hurry the process. Boy, if ever after the step I realize I had missed seeing............WHOA!
I can see the writing; Yes, the lady said, he stepped off the road so I know he saw me coming but then he jumped right back out in front of my car. He timed it exactly correct as there was not any time at all to turn the steering wheel. He truly wanted to go! Now, who's going to repair my car?
"Looking foolish does the spirit good. The need not to look foolish is one of youth's many burdens; as we get older we are exempted from more and more, and float upward in our heedlessness, singing Gratia Dei sum quod sum." - John Updike
