Oh!! For those of you who don't know, we live on a dead end. We are the VERY last house...it wonderful :) The street goes about two car lengths past our driveway, and then ends. When the kids and I were getting in the car this morning, a guy on a motorcycle came tearing down the road and slammed on his brakes right in front of our house. He almost hit the wood that's at our dead end!!! I guess he thought the street went straight through, and sped up at the top of the hill and then when he got to the bottom he realized he was wrong :p If he wouldn't have been able to stop in time, he'd have been thrown off of his bike and would have probably broken a bone or two. Instead, he finally stopped, and then he fell over onto his right side. It took him a little while to get up, so I got out of the car and watched him to see if he was okay. He got the bike off of himself and then slowly got up. I called out "Are you okay?" and he totally ignored me. He was probably pretty embarassed...I would be too! lol He got back on the bike, turned it around and tried to take off again. The silly bike stalled out on him about three times though, so he was stuck there in front of our driveway, with us staring at him. Once he got going, he was GONE. The crazy guy hadn't learned his lesson, I guess. He was majorly speeding in our residential area. I jumped in the car to head out, and he was no where to be found. I finally saw him at a stop light a ways down, several streets over. Crazy... I just thank the Lord that we weren't pulling out of our driveway at the time he was speeding down our street!!! I know he would have smashed into my driver's side...scary thought! OR, the kiddos could have been playing outside, at the dead end, and gotten run over by him!! So many things could have gone wrong because of his careless driving. Grrrrrrr...
