Close Calls

I went to dinner last night with a some friends who the day before had been to a memorial service for 3 friends who died last week, while performing a routine training exercise just off the coast.

On the way home, I had a heart-stopping moment when, while traveling at 70mph down the interstate, the car in the lane directly to my left blew a tire and shot across the lanes behind me, narrowly missing my rear bumper. Amazingly enough, despite the summer traffic on a Friday night, nobody was injured.

Phew. Thereby the grace of God...
