no flash.

i almost got hit by a car today. i took a different route to the office because i had to return a library book, so i picked up a tea at dunn bros. to sooth my scratchy throat, returned my book and headed across the street when the light turned green. well, the nice lady in the silver sedan wasn't paying attention and slammed on her breaks two feet from my nice brown boots. i saw the words "oh, shit" come out of her mouth as i continued walking by, a little nervous about what almost happened, but not too put out. in fact, i was surprised that i wasn't more shook up. i just continued walking. no shortness of breath. no worries. i did have a vision of the tomato basil soup that was in my back pack splashed all over her car and the street around my broken body, but that was all. my life didn't flash before my eyes or anything. it was kind of a close call, but i guess it wasn't too close, because of the lack of flash.
