So today we had three fatal, fiery automobile accidents occur within ten miles of our house. Kind of strange. We had to sort of meander and backtrack our way through town to get to things, as thousands and thousands of cars and trucks were re-routed from the nearby freeways onto the roads between our home and the outside world. Driving an overpass a few streets away, we could see what was left of the accident on highway 40. As for the double-accident on 85, that's what caused the line of semis stopped still for hours on the bridge over our main road. And I have never seen a stranger or more alarming sight than the photo of the pickup truck that was hit by the semi. (Turns out the driver of the semi was under the influence of methadone and marijuana.) And the word they have for us on the news? Drive defensively. I'll say.
