I nearly died today.
Today driving back from the Dentist (after 2 root canals), a bus tried to wipe me out. It has been snowing here 12 hours and a foot of snow later I tried to merge on to a 16 lane highway that was not plowed of snow enough. As I was entering the highway a commuter bus cut me off. My choice was to let the bus cream me or stear into a snow bank away from the bus. My merge lane should have been clear but was filled from the snowplows clearing 4 other lanes. Thank goodness my 4 wheel drive powered me away from the bus, and two tow trucks and with a Cop blocking the highway traffic, I was dragged out of the snow bank to be free to drive to the nearest bar. Fuck me. Towing Fee: Asked $80, paid $50. Distance 10 feet.
