<<Turns out there were only 3 injuries in that multiple car (31, at last count) smash up east of Denver. One driver said "...they just kept slamming into us, bang, bang, bang. It was like it would never end.">> Jeff Gordon was in a huge wreck at the Daytona 500 a few years ago. Later he said every time he opened his eyes another car hit him so after 3 he kept his eyes shut.

That is truly a miracle, Ken....3 injuries in the 31 car pileup! That must have been so very scary for everyone involved! Bumper cars to the max! Were people following too close, or was it solid ice underneath the snow?

Too many California drivers in Colorado, it seems. Driving too fast for conditions. Following too close.

I came over the hill into my neighborhood at what I thought was a cautious speed. For a time I thought that the path of the truck in my neighbor's yard was a predictor of mine. I slowed down incrementally, and almost made it around the curve. The neighbor downhill from the one whose yard was adorned with a pickup became the host to my mishap. Fortunately, the doctor is growing wildflowers in his ditch. I rolled between his electric transformer and cable box right back onto the road. His wife was very understanding on the phone, and I will see how deep the ruts are and what it will take to make him whole. I must say the view was better from the road.
