After dinner last night at Jeff and Karen’s, I picked up US 41 (your typical four lane divided highway) at the end of Bellemeade, and I headed north towards the Marriott. As I passed over the Lloyd Expressway, I saw a white van coming up the off ramp, entering my lane, heading in my direction. This has happened to me only once before, and I can say even in a non-highway situation closings speeds are such that you have very little time to react.
Two cars in front of me swerved out of his way, as I did. Open jawed, I watched in my rear view mirror for the inevitable head-on collision, but the cars behind me did as we did. No one honked, no one veered off the road to move safely away, no one ran into him for an easy insurance settlement – they just got out of his way and kept on going.

What, no pix?
Hey, what does the title mean?

Wow. That really makes you think. Michael, glad we have the chance to hear the story from you and not from the news. Glad no one was hurt.
Was it Lindsey Lohan again?

Or Gary Busey.
Refers to the difference between the east coast and here.

Good thing the roads were not too treacherous for evasive maneuvers (and that you were not driving while filming … )! Yowza …

Filming while driving? Perish the thought. In fact, perish if you do it!
