CA Greenery.JPG

After driving through NM, AZ, abd the Mojave Desert, it sure was nice to see green again. The rest of the way into Barstow and up to Visalia was all farms and greenery. I almost passed a day without seeing an accident. But 10 miles from our stop for the night, I saw someone do a 360 and off the road behind me. It seems I see an accident about every 500 miles. It seems on the interstates there would not be so many accidents. But...... Mostly people using cell phones. But food, changing CDs, and anything else a person does behind the wheel besides driving is dangerous. Pieces of cars or pickups laying across the road are the most unpleasant part of driving. Almost as sad are the cars who almost have an accident but don't. I want to yell at them pay attention and then they will notice and prevent an accident at the last minute. Tonight was the laws as much as his inattention. The card run about 10 over the speed limit which is 70. Trucks speed limit is 55 and they may run 5 over. When someone is distracted by something, that 20mph speed different can take them by surprise. Then they try to avoid running under the back of a truck and..... That was what happened today I think.
