Your-turn!?---My-turn!?... "Not"-today!? Hmm!?

Vroom! Look-out! Bozo!

1:15 p.m., Sunday-afternoon, bright & sunny, 60's! What-a-day!

We're going to Rural King for spray paint; I ran out referbushing 

the picnic-table; a pretty-simple trek!? Well! Maybe! Hmm!?

We are southbound on Route 3 at the Waterloo, Illinois intersection 

with North Market St. (old Rt. 3 before the by-pass) stopped at a 

red-light in the left-turn lane waiting our-turn for a green-light.

Traffic is heavy and brisk at the popular Wal-mart intersection.

We are stopped; the cross-traffic light turns green for vehices 

headed west. Candy yells, "Oh! My-god!" As a green pick-up 

headed west entered the north-bound lanes of Rt. 3, a black 

pick-up headed northbound at about 75 mph blew through its 

red-light. The green truck driver seemed oblivious to the happening 

as he simply continued on through the intersection; the black truck 

screamed past his front-end, missing it by inches. The green truck 

went on through toward Wal-Mart in a leisurely-fashion; an-SUV 

Monroe County Sheriff Deputy vehicle, in hot pursuit of the black 

truck, flew through the intersection. The deputy swerved slightly 

to fly-by the green truck, missing it by inches. The black truck and 

the police car continued northbound not slowing. Where we were, 

if the black truck had hit the green pick-up, it seemed obvious that the 

black truck fleeing the police persuit would have careened directly into 

our stopped vehicle. We were approzimately 16' from the black truck.

Luckily, neither the "criminal"-idiot nor the deputy hit the green-truck!

Wow! At 70 mph a vehicle covers 90 ft./secong! No-way they miss-us!

We were within 1/4-second of cruel-death! Thank-God for miracles!

I understand an-"accident"---but...purposed idiot-conduct!? NO!

I often remark, "It just wasn't his (her) time!" When one lucks-out! Wow!

Glad to still be-here! Counting our-blessings! Over & over! Amen!

Today!---Just wasn't our-turn!...Time! is fleeting! Enjoy! Life! & Love!

News-flash! Car-thief arrested in Columbia Sunday-afternoon! Justice!?

Amen!
