I had a near-death experience today.

When I was about cycle onto the road at a traffic junction, a huge pickup truck came out of nowhere and nearly ran me over.

That was your bike? Close shave indeed!

Did you talk to the truck driver?

Hmmm, nope..it's a pic I got from google images. Only the front part of my bic got smashed up, not the whole thing. In any case, that means no cycling from now on!

Close shave indeed!

Yah, the driver was so freaked out her face was completely white when she rushed out of the truck to see if I'm dead! Promise to be more careful next time...crossing the road here's dangerous!

I've always thought you were surrounded by a mighty host of guardian angels but this story really takes the cake. I think there's even a trainee guarding your laptop. By the way, walking isn't always safe, so learn the traffic rules!

Incidentally, I did recall what you said about guardian angels right after the near-accident. Perhaps you're right!

Yup. Somehow I had a premonition that something bad was gonna happen. And it did! Hmm. I'll keep my eyes VERY peeled from now on, no worries.
