The idle musings of a former military man, former computer geek, medically retired pastor and now full-time writer. Contents guaranteed to offend the politically correct and anal-retentive from time to time. My approach to life is that it should be taken with a large helping of laughter, and sufficient firepower to keep it tamed!

The living definition of an obliviot?
Courtesy of a link at Daily Timewaster, we meet a Miami driver who clearly wasn't looking out of his window.
Looks like the living definition of an obliviot to me . . .
True story. I used to drive the State employee shuttle bus in Annapolis, Md. Part of my route crossed the College Creek bridge, a four lane affair two inbound, two out. during a snowstorm I was in bound and saw a 68 Olds broke Down in the outbound curb lane. Also outbound was a CJ jeep, about 30 mph, driver had a map spread over the steering wheel. Yup. Saw the Olds and locked brakes about three car lengths before impact.(did I say the road was snow covered?) Hijinks ensued....
It is OK, you can say it: Florida Man.

That's going to cost him...
