Another bad wreck

[GoodOlBoy]

Thank God.. Two hours ago I walked away from another BAD wreck. The guy that hit me was doing more than 90... He came to a stop about 100 yards away and also walked away. Praise be unto the Lord.....

I'm glad you're OK, GOB.

Dang buddy, whats going on. Bad carma. Glad you are fine although I bet you will be sore today.

If it were me I would say I would have been paying for the sins of my youth.

[popplecop]

Thanks for the well wishes

the car in the weeeee red circle is the guy that hit me. His path as he glanced off of me is between the closest mailboxes in the pic and the trees, then spinning off the ground across that open area and landing (still spinning) and coming to a stop where he is in the picture.

Whew

GOB than cannot be Texas there are trees!

[GoodOlBoy]

Stop watching bad movies and come to east Texas I will show you trees.

Dr says I'm ok, but we have to keep monitoring me for a few days.

GOB,

Glad to hear you're doing well. You better buy a tank for commuting... it'll be safer.

buckhunter - was in east TX a while back for work. Tons of trees an foliage. Admittedly, not what you picture when you hear the word Texas.

[popplecop]

Glad to hear that your ok. looks like a heck of a collission. That part of Texas is a spill over from Louisiana.

[bulletpusher]

popplecop,

Louisiana is kinda next door, it only about a hundred plus miles to the Texas/Louisiana state line, if you go due East as the Crow fly's that is, you will get to Louisiana.

By Road its a little farther.

It always amazes me that people from other states that have never been here always think that Texas is just burnt over desert. Trees don't start thinning out untill you get well past Interstate 45 which runs North and South between Houston and Dallas. And they don't get scarce untill you get well past Interstate 35. Out past Austin and San Antonio the trees really start getting scarce but there is still some for quite a ways.

You guys need to remember its farther from Beaumont, Texas to El Paso, Texas than it is from the El Paso to Pacific or from Beaumont to Atlantic.

GoodOlBoy is starting to feel the bumps and bruising now and is in a little pain. I think he'll recover but its a little slow in coming for him.

Thanks to all, for the concern and wishes for my Son.

Its like Massachusetts, every thinks of 1776 and the likes. I can take you in a few places that when (not if) you get lost you ain't gonna make it. I know there are trees in Texas, I once drove thru it with my dog and he found everyone of them.

[popplecop]

I know the first time I was in eastern Texas on my way from NW Louisiana to Dallas I was surprized at the amount of forested land. Have been on the rolling plains, high desert, desert, and up high in the mountains. All have held an interest, but I'm a woods and marsh type person preferably.

[GoodOlBoy]

I'm with you popplecop, I prefer lowland hardwoods and pines, and river bottoms to pretty much anything else.

GOB,

I am glad you survived. What were the circumstances? Did he emerge from a side road or swever into your lane of travel? Do you have a lawyer? It seems I never saw 90 mph speed limits when I went to college at Lamar in Beaumont. As a Beaumont cop, we had NO 90 MPH limits in East Texas.

[GoodOlBoy]

He was riding the double yellow line, I had just started across it to pull into my drive, I didn't see him due to the road layout and his speed. He was found completely at fault by higway patrol due to excessive speed. Speed limit is 60 on my road. Don't have a lawyer yet.

GOB, glad you still with us. Big guy upstairs pulls through at times when needed. When 17, man hit me head on headlight for headlight and I can feel your sudden stop. You must be living right. Keep it up. Were you alone in car? If here in W.Pa, first thing cops would say to you is ' hope you have good insurance because other driver probably don't' We have a HUGE problem here with people crossing the center line. Cops do nothing about that but never go 5mph over the speed limit. Wow.
