Yep that's right YIKES!! So tonight I was driving through downtown Columbia leaving a friends place and I was singing along w/ the radio. Well I must have really spaced out cause suddenly I focused and realized I was in the middle of an intersection and my light was RED!!! Stone cold red...not like was yellow just turned red. But like RED, has been red for a bit! I don't know how I missed that. I mean I seriously could have been hurt, or hurt someone else! Luckily I made it through ok and there weren't any cops and I didn't notice any cameras so I should be ok w/ the law. But seriously, that freaks me out!! One problem is the lights here are kinda weird...on a three lane street, none of which are turning lanes there are only 2 lights. I was driving in the center lane so I didn't have a light right in front of me. Not an excuse...just an observation. So that was my heart attack of the evening...guess I'll have to start paying attention when I drive. Man that really sucks!
