I bumped into a former krav student yesterday.
That makes me sad. I miss having krav students. He wasn't one I was close with. But a nice guy. Hasn't trained in a while--stopped to get married, got injured, never got back into it.
Pretty random. He didn't know where he knew me from, but I recognised him right away. Either he's a bit player on a TNT show, or a krav student. Or both.
Narrowly avoided an accident coming home tonight. The car in front of me hit a dog that dodged out into traffic while its horrified owner stared in silent shock. A clip, a whine, and it spun and lay still. I stopped with plenty of space, and the owner ran out and grabbed it up in her arms, wailing. No leash in sight...heavy traffic, rush hour. The driver was stunned. She pulled over (very badly) and came out. The dog owner was shrieking for help, but it looked like the driver was going to be help for her, as well as some of the other people standing around her at the time, so I kept driving. I was very shaken. I had tears in my eyes while I was picking up my prescriptions, which I totally didn't excpect. But for a couple of seconds, it could have been me. It was fast enough, and there was no avoiding it. I don't think she even saw it, just felt it.
