And, occasionally, you just get flattened by a truck. Like now.

Coincidental, but massively off-topic ...

The same ABX driver just missed me *twice* on my commute to work. Both times happened in my office parking lot, 50 yards apart, avoided by my good brakes. The usual symptoms - He was speeding (once forward, once reverse) without looking. Luckily, I *was* looking and *wasn't* speeding. The guy actually told me - direct quote - "I took defensive driving, so you gotta stay out of my way."

I contacted his manager and expressed my displeasure.

However, if I'm this prophetic ... maybe I should make *my* call for the death of the Bear. <g>
