I've had the close calls, but I honestly don't remember anything that close. Probably the funniest thing was this: My husband rebuilt an old Malibu, and he loved that car. He painted it bright yellow (I called it the Bumble Bu). I rarely drove it because it was 'his' car, but once I had to drive it to pick up my son from school. I was nervous about it. I was driving along when all of a sudden I heard a clackety clackety sound, and my first thought was "I KNEW this was going to happen! I drive the car and it breaks!" I caught a glimpse of something in the side mirror. It was a crazed deer face with wild eyes and its tongue hanging out. I instinctively hit the brakes, the thing shot past the car on the driver side, did a panicked little dance in front of the car and finally shot into the woods. All I can figure is that he had come out of the woods and almost broadsided the car. He veered away and found himself running with the car. The clackety sound was his hooves on the road.

That said, I've had a couple close calls just like what you described. But my time is coming.<br /><br />By the way, don't ever let butter melt into your car carpet or spill octopus stew on it. I've had both happen over the years and neither smell ever went away until the car went away.Edhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13214319366049620074noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3721950935860033351.post-75728420326228993342020-11-29T18:48:33.299-05:002020-11-29T18:48:33.299-05:00There’s irony here ...
