Last night I experienced an extremely close call. I was wrapping up my last ten stops for the night. It's been well documented at UPS that Friday's are the worst for accident's and injuries because people are in a hurry to get home and start the weekend. I was working out of the back of the truck, and had to cross the street to bring two boxes to a bakery. I was on a side street off of a pretty busy main road in the city. I looked around the back corner like we are trained, then stepped out into the street because the coast was clear. Here's where it gets interesting. It all happened in about a nano second. As I stepped out, I saw to my right a white flash. I closed my eyes and tried to halt my forward momentum because I just knew it was over. Without trying to make things any more dramatic, apparently, this "person" was doing about 50mph down this side street. I say "person" because I didn't get a good look at him, but from the expletives that were yelled at me, I'm assuming a "non-white urban youth". Anyway, in trying to halt my forward stride I ended up tossing the two boxes behind me while trying to turn my body. The two guys at the bakery were out on the sidewalk and they were screaming in Italian at the "person" in the truck as he sped off. I am still shaken up. Please, tell the wife and kids you love them when you leave the house. I was convinced in that split second that I wasn't going to see my family again....it was that close. Oh, and the contents of the boxes were coffee cups. They were not damaged in my haste to toss them behind me. But upon reflection, it seems silly to almost get killed over ceramic cups. :-?

I know I know, I think you missed it 8-)

Hey wait a minute.......what sweatshirts?

Add me to that camp.

Here's to a speedy recovery!

Mac OSX.....Browser is Safari.

Sexy combo right there.... 8-)

Am I the only one? All I see is a blue lego with a "?" in the middle.

After the rain? How about during the rain.....

Had a package for Tatiana Saavedra today. Almost asked her if she made swimbaits while listening to Metallica..... ;D ;D ;D

Class ring?

most likely he wont find this funny.. I Don't.. Welcome to the site. Lighten up....... ;D

I'm on Myspace and Facebook. Old friends are coming out of the woodwork. The love of my life when I was a lad just contacted me after 14 years. I just told the wife.....

MOJO BAITS

I'm having a hard time understanding the Slayer comparisons. I guess since I was "there" back in the day......

Guess you boys never caught a Bluefish then. (Or a Bonito)

They made more albums after And Justice for All? :-?

This year has sucked, plain and simple. The only thing that could salvage it now would be some killer blues, or cow stripers this September/October. ' Caught ONE fish on a topwater all summer. With the lure that AJR gave me, the pimped hula poppers never even got a whiff, J-bug was a bust..nada, nothing....bring on '09 I guess. :-/

If Stafford turns into a team deal, I'll try to bum a ride.

Would like to get in on some of this action. (Unless the Stripers and Blues are in) Crawdacious is kinda small for Stafford tho.

Awesome dude! Dropshottin' in 60' of water I bet! Talk to ya later!

My brother in law works at the Sunset Sound Studio in L.A. Metallica is recording there for the month of September.

That's too funny.... :-?
