Bad Car Karma

Last time it was high-speed impact by a Municipal Bus.  My car was totalled.  Today, an oh-so-apologetic Palo Alto policeman rolling to a stop behind me.  Only a tail light/bumper disrupted this time/hopefully. Wrong place, wrong time.  In front of a distracted driver. 

Mr. Bus Driver was looking for lunch.  Mr. Policeman, checking equipment.  

It could have happened to any of us.  

Cell conversations aside, changing channels or checking AC could take just enough time to roll or roar into the car ahead of you.  

We all do it.  How many times have I applied lipstick and/or more while driving?

Today's message:  Let's pay attention, people.

Good reminder to pay attention and not be multi-tasking while driving!!!

I did it yesterday, reaching for my sunglasses which had fallen to the floor. This is why they are called 'accidents' I guess.
