They really are out to get me!
Monday, I was driving east on Nebraska Highway 92 near Mead, NE in the middle of the usual 2 lane traffic when some bonehead driving a big John Deere 4X4 tractor pulling a folded 24 row planter drove right out onto the highway into the middle of the traffic. Vehicles were swerving, tires squealing, and all that. Don't know where his head was, but it seemingly never occured to him that there not only might be traffic on the highway, but it would have the right-of-way over him.
Wednesday, I was westbound from Atlantic to Oakland, Iowa on U.S. Highway 6 when I drove over the top of a hill and a dump truck came sailing out of a field road drive right in front of me. I missed him by about two feet. The way he shot out of the drive, he obviously never even slowed down, let alone checked for traffic.
Then, a little while ago, I stopped at a HyVee grocery store in Lincoln to pick up something for lunch. While driving properly down a lane in the parking lot, some idiot cutting crossways across the lot came within about a foot of broadsiding me.
What with boneheaded drivers, mean dogs, rickety basement stairs, snakes in basements, etc, I sometimes think I should get hazardous duty pay on this job.
