Kinda reminds me of a friend of mine who hit a MOOSE while riding his Harley. He rode under in a similar way; the motorcycle windshield eviscerated the moose; the moose died; he walked away mostly unscathed. He still rides the Harley (after making some repairs) and we call him "Moose Killer". -D (not riding in the sub-zero cold of Rochester MN) -- The things that come to those that wait are the things left by those who got there first >I think it was "Wickeddoll®" <wickeddoll1958diespammersdie@yahoo.com> > who stated: [quoted text clipped - 4 lines] > > I bet THAT was exciting!

Save the "fwap": Mrs. Sharx doesn't do threesomes. You wish. I'd still rather shiver than sweat any day. Natalie > You wish. > > I'd still rather shiver than sweat any day. Yep. Nice, dry skin vs. all hot & sticky. I hate it when you put your arm on a desk, only to inadvertently pick up a paper that was lying there when taking the arm back off the desk. Yech. Even if just had a shower, feel all grungy. If it's cold you can always add layers of clothing, but you can only take so much off before getting arrested for indecent exposure. And could *still* be sweating anyway... OTOH, I love the freedom of wearing a tee & shorts & sandals in the summer, and being able to just walk in & out of the house without having to make a production of the deal: boots, coat (w/hood), gloves... then leave the boots where they can drip dry (& dry up any snow puddles accidentally tracked in), put the gloves where they'll dry off nicely...

Of course, I grew up in Florida, so it was still novel for me, the 11 years we lived in New Hampshire. We used to put our boots, etc. on top of the wood stove.

I've always lived in the NE, so the novelty of that part of winter wore off for me many years ago. ;-) Cathy > Natalie >>I think it was "Wickeddoll®" <wickeddoll1958diespammersdie@yahoo.com> >> who stated: [quoted text clipped - 22 lines] > > Natalie You can have all the cold weather you want.

I wondered about that too! You'd think it would feel like a speed bump to the semi. Maybe it was cuz the semi driver was skidding on the Miata? Natalie > http://www.fayobserver.com/article?id=254166 > > What a yutz. > > Natalie If the Toyota Camry wasn't going so slow and had moved over to the right lane while speaking on the cell phone the Miata driver would have been on his merry way instead of ending up the rear end of a semi.

That Miata driver came really close to doing a Jayne Mansfield. I'm sure the fact that the car was so low-slung saved his life.

I wonder if the Miata hit hard enough to bend or break the ICC bumper, or if the bumper ended up going over the Miata's hood. That driver is probably looking at a Humvee for his next ride!

Natalie > "Ray O" ... >> [quoted text clipped - 25 lines] > > Natalie I think the accident with the Miata is one of those rare instances where luck plays a big part, like when someone who is not wearing a seatbelt gets ejected from the car just before it goes over Niagara Falls and would have died if they had been belted in. The front ends of cars have crumple zones that are designed to protect the occupants, and in a higher vehicle, the crumple zone would probably have come into play. In the case of the Miata in the picture, there is no crumpling. If the Miata had a passenger or if the driver had hit the truck a little more squarely, the likelihood that he would have survived looks pretty slim.

Like I said - luckier than he is smart... that happened less than a block from my office, BTW. Most of the medical offices are in that periphery.
