So I Nearly Died This Morning
Oct. 22nd, 2009 07:23 am...no really. I have no clue how I managed not to kill myself or anything one this morning.
We're having really horrible rain storms here, and when I was driving to work on the high way I had to keep my windshield wipers on the highest setting which I rarely do (and now likely never will again.) All of a sudden, my wipers actually GOT STUCK TOGETHER. Like, one was somehow wedged through the other... and both where stuck directly in my line of sight.
I was stuck in a middle lane in fairly heavy traffic with no where to pull over and absolutely minimal vision. I still truly could not tell you how I managed to make it to my exit and pull over.
I got the two apart after more than a little effort. The right blade now wont move at all. I think it may have actually shorted out the motor. Dunno.
I'm just... I'm alive. And in shock, literally. But that at least will pass.
