This one really hit home, and glad you made it through alright. I like you travel around a lot for work and had many of a life passing before your eyes moments. Once on icy roads on the interstate I gave a poor guy a little NASCAR nudge to save me from slamming into the concrete medium here in northwest Indiana. After he did two 360's and stopped few inches from going down a 15 foot ditch, I found out he could not speak English and was not insured. Thank god for traffic cams and those brave wonderful men and women of the Indiana State Police I was soon on my way with the thought all those years trying to kill myself as a teen had paid off. Then with a new dent and extra extended bumper I was side swiped two days later by an overly aggressive young man at 70mph trying to get around a person that just so happened to be able to get in front of him that day. With just a few choice words from me, such as what a A..hole he was, I told him it was his lucky day as he did not cause anymore damage that someone else had already, and bid him ado. It was great seeing him with his jaw hitting the pavement in the rear view mirror as I knew it was not his new pick-up truck,; most likely his father's.<br /> I like yourself work at many automotive and the like places you have. I have never met you, but hope one day to meet you in passing. Do not get me wrong not a "tranny chaser" just find I love your posts and some what a celebrity chaser. Me life long cross dresser.<br /> Glad you lived to post another day, and yes this day where I am at in Indiana it is raining and just was just missed by a few miles by a tornado.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13376371637341539956noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7776343890232020343.post-46869752374071625812016-08-24T05:25:16.472-05:002016-08-24T05:25:16.472-05:00As one who also did crazy things driving a car whe...As one who also did crazy things driving a car when young, I agree that the skills of a misspent youth can come back to save me. I learned to drive on ice on the range roads of Fort Sill, Oklahoma. Plenty of icy roads there! Last January just south of Spokane, WA, I hit unexpected ice at 60 mph. Instantly, I was in the opposite lane with oncoming traffic bearing down on me. You are right about things slowing down in such situations. My skills from youth got me back in my own lane a half second from a head on crash and I did not plummet down a steep cliff to the right shoulder. I spent several minutes stopped at the next intersection before going real slow the rest of the way to Spokane airport. Though I lack the guts to fly pretty, Abby's pretty things were in a bag beside me in the car , anticipating a few days in a warmer, brighter, and drier place than Spokane in January. Thanks for your great blog. I love reading of your adventures. Do take care of yourself!

My name belonged to boys a long time ago. B...Kim,<br /><br />My name belonged to boys a long time ago. But the girls took it over, and now it's much more common for girls. Only us old pharts still use the name. Be that as it may...my name helps occasionally to tip the scale when my appearance as Mandy is off the mark a bit. And if I ever transition, I really don't have to do much in the name change department.<br /><br />Speaking of accidents, back in the early 2000's I was driving an older Bonneville on a 4-lane city street, in the left travel lane, at the speed limit (of 40.) An older Taurus was in the left turn lane at a cross intersection, waiting on "who knows what" to turn. The light was green in our direction, and as my heavy Bonneville was about 2 carlengths from the intersection, the driver of the Taurus decided that she wanted to turn right, not left. And immediately turned right, out of the left turn lane and into my path. I laid on the brake and horn as the Bonneville T-boned the Taurus.<br /><br />My life passed in front of my eyes those couple of seconds before impact. And the look of terror in the eyes of the kids in the front and rear passenger's seats haunted me for a while. But our airbags went off, and my wife and I walked away with no injuries. The occupants of the other car - not so much. They all got hauled to the hospital. I was not cited. The other driver was served her summmons in the hospital, for several infractions. So I understand your (and Janice's) situations.<br /><br />As a postscript, my insurance company told me that the other driver was out of state and uninsured. They paid substantial medical expenses for the folks in the other car. And they totaled my car - which had to be pried out of the middle of the Taurus. I got a pittance for it. <br /><br />To add insult to injury, at renewal time my insurance cost increased, beyond that which would have been required for my new car. So I decided to go get competitive quotes. Both companies I checked said "With your at-fault accident, you'll have to wait 4 more years to get a quote from us." I said "I can send you a notarized copy of the police report which says 'Not at fault.'" "We can't honor the police report, since the insurance company says you were at fault." <br /><br />I called my insurance company. "At least we didn't drop you." Yeah, right. The only thing they would do was provide a letter to my company attesting to the fact I had no at-fault accidents, thus letting me drive the company car. When I gave a copy of this letter to the competing insurance companies, voila! I got my quotes. Gave the letter to a third insurance company, they gave an even better quote - saved a thousand dollars a year, best price of the bunch. And promptly changed insurance companies.<br /><br />Couldn't honor the police report showing "not at fault?" That's incredible. The whole bunch of 'em deserved to lose, or not gain, my business.<br /><br />Cheers,<br /><br />Mandy<br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br />Mandy Shermanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01547323395921637440noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7776343890232020343.post-80788317649140973322016-08-20T18:36:14.635-05:002016-08-20T18:36:14.635-05:00Kim -

I am tempted to change it to remove the formal part that identifies me as a male. For example, Alex could be either Alexandra or Alexander. And when it is spoken, people might hear Alice is they are not careful.....<br /><br />MMarianhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18346866501735405647noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7776343890232020343.post-3164377030479160622016-08-20T18:21:39.621-05:002016-08-20T18:21:39.621-05:00Nope.

I was traveling with another truck and he witnessed the whole thing, His exact words; "I ain't seen nobody get in a situation like that and lived to tell about it!" anyways, the point is I had also went through that slow motion thing, Although I was on I-95 in South Carolina 5 miles from the Georgia state line, My skills from driving a gravel train in Michigan ( Semi tractor with 2 dump trailers 160,000 pounds gross) in all kinds of weather 12 months a year for 20 years when I was younger had kicked in. The world was moving slowly for me as I regained control of the truck and worked it back onto the southbound side of the interstate where I had been forced from by another truck. He never stopped I tried to catch him but he took off. The I beam post with cables linking them tore the shit out of the truck I was driving though.<br />Janicehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01866119804757935470noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7776343890232020343.post-66378382527738779952016-08-20T12:56:55.336-05:002016-08-20T12:56:55.336-05:00Great stories (as usual) and SO glad you lived to ...Great stories (as usual) and SO glad you lived to tell the tale of the accident.
