I am so sorry about your accident, glad that you're alright.
Take care of yourself and let us know how you're doing.

Hack, I'm glad to hear you made it home in one piece, even if banged up somewhat. My wife flew home from OKC Saturday, and I was hoping that you would be the pilot. Obviously not!

How long before you can fly again?

Back to the Okie driving thing--we lived in OKC for 12 years, and every year there was at least one good ice storm. It was free entertainment, watching the big shiny pickup trucks sailing down the I-40 off-ramps at 60-65 mph, on sheet ice, and the amazed look on their faces as their pickups started doing 360 turns, and they sailed right through the red light at the end of the ramp. The good news is that most of the time, the other drivers were able to avoid a collision. When you see an F-250 going sideways down an off-ramp, it's a good bet that he isn't stopping at the light.

Your story just reinforces that image. I guess they don't need ice to drive like a fool, just a big shiny pickup, preferably with horns on the front and fake testicles on the rear. And come to think of it, I've seen a few just like that around here, both in terms of the ornaments AND the driving style.

Just popped on here for the first time in a while......WOW... what a time you had in OK! Glad to hear that you came out of all of it with your health, wit and sense of humor intact.

It wasn't enough that you're in a boxing tournament, no, you have to get in a crazy accident and car chase too!

A lot of those kinds of accidents where one car is entering it on green and some clown blows through a red are t-bone fatalities. Well, at least you'll have a quite story for the rest of your life, and no doubt an even further appreciation for life:)

That's quite the story my friend. I too am glad you are 'Ok' (no pun intended).

I spent a couple of years in Oklahoma and Texas and know they have some 'interesting' intersections and exits.

I have often said that the drivers in Clayton County Georgia are the worst I have ever seen but I must confess that I have had my share of close calls in the North Texas and South Oklahoma areas as well.

God's speed in your healing. Remember, that's just how fast it can happen - so stay 'ready' and remember what is important: God, Family, Neighbor, Country, Self.

Thanks for the laugh ... not at you ... with you

Hack,

First of all I am so thankful you are alright. Personally, I would have milked that injury for all it was worth and tried to get some extra attention from Mrs. Git.

Great job my friend. I think I can speak for several by saying how proud we are of you in spite of not being able to go all the way. Heck, you were close enough for it to count for us. Cheers!

Okies are awesome

Indeed, in spite of your friend's encounter with the idiot car salesman, most Okies are awesome. Drive down the remote highways and side roads of Oklahoma and eight out of ten times your encounter with with a stranger coming the opposite way will elicit a friendly wave. And I promise you, that if you're broke down it will be a matter of minutes before some ole Brush Okie is pulling out his log chain and offering to hook you up for a tow. That's why I spend so much time there is because people matter to people and if you're willing to sit on a porch or on the side of the road it's amazing how much time they will spend with you while making a new friend.

Thank God for your safety. Just shows how in tune we need to be with Him as we never know what may jump out at us in life and when.

Now for the really good news regarding the totaling of your rice burner. You now have the perfect excuse to purchase that Vette as a replacement.

There's always a silver lining in those clouds.... isn't there.

and in one piece!! What a horrible accident! Is this a sign that you need to stop fighting?? Maybe... We're just happy that you are alright and weren't injured anymore than you were!

Come on admit it... you're wife beat you up because you came out of retirement! Seriously, I'm glad your o.k. What a story.
