Had 2 close calls in the last 20 hours. Last night Jo and I were coming home from Florence and there was an accident on Hunt highway. We came to a stop and I looked in my rearview mirror and noticed that the car about a quarter of a mile behind us was approaching as I watched him, I noticed he was not slowing down, I started pumping my brakes to hopefully catch his attention to no avail at the last minute he saw what was in front of him and veered off the road and went shooting by us and the eight cars in front of us. He almost lost control. Fortunately there was nothing on the side of the road for him to hit. I wonder what the cops that were attending to the accident or thinking. Second close call: Today I was running some electric fencing into the animal shelter that’s out in the pasture so that Cream (our Holstein Cow) doesn’t try to bust through by can have some shade. As I was screwing in an insulator Cream, wanted to play and came up to my side. She was trying to butt me and smell me and lick me then she raised up on her hind legs. As I looked up, she started to come down, and I pushed her away and I moved out of the way, so that she would not come down on top of me. She just wanted to give me a hug.
