What did you do today?

[Nanno]

A dash cam in my truck wouldn't have been very exciting. I was looking out the front and all I saw was a little leap forward. The main thing I noticed was the crashing noise. I got less of a jolt from this wreck than the ones I got when I drove in the demolition derby. My hitch took most of the impact. I would love to see a dash cam video from the guy following the lady's Taurus, though!

When I talked to him he said, "I was watching and I was thinking, 'Man, she doesn't even see that truck... she's not slowing down... she's not gonna stop... this is gonna be bad!'"

Apparently he was already pulling over before she hit me because he knew it was going to be a wreck.

Reminds me of the young man who said, "Gee, I hope when I die, I go peacefully to sleep like my grandpa... not screaming in terror like the passengers in his car."

Since my truck is fine other than the hitch, and my water tank was not broken, I just took the tank off the trailer and plopped it in the bed of the truck. My suspension doesn't appreciate it, but it'll just have to put up with the extra work until I can get a trailer worked out. Hopefully it won't take long.

Also, I wanted to mention (since we were talking about it in this thread earlier, Charlie Horse), that the ATF dropped the proposed ban on .223 green tip ammo. Apparently the people spoke and the ATF backed down in the face of 80,000 letters, a coalition of Congressmen, and the outcry from police, who were angered that they were being wrongly used as an excuse to ban a popular rifle ammo. The ban was touted as necessary for "protecting police officers," but the police couldn't find a single instance of any officer anywhere being shot or even threatened by anyone wielding a handgun that takes .223 rounds. I'm glad the backlash was enough to beat back the ATF. That agency has been out of control for as long as I can remember, and they need to be reminded regularly and often who they actually work for.
