24. From the ruined underwear department: I was driving home from work today, and out on I-275 South heading out of Tampa, I went around this huge truck that was going marginally slower than I was…maybe 5-10 seconds later, the driver’s side front tire on this huge truck blew, taking off the truck’s hood causing the driver to lose control and nerf hard into the guard rail. 5-10 seconds sooner, and…well. Apparently God has something else in mind for me. It’s amazing how you can feel sound.
