ANOTHER 2.8 MILES
2.8 Miles: 56 minutes later
I’m thinking: Being always on the road, I consider myself to be enormously lucky, but accidents do happen. Annually in this nation, approximately forty-seven thousand die in auto accidents. Once even thought of writing a book titled The Most Freakish Coincidence Accidents.
Because every time I start the engine and drive into traffic, all of what I treasure can be taken, stolen without due process.
Because anytime a vehicle passes mine in the oncoming lanes, I could be subjected to torture—‘
Maven? Says Tom.
I’m thinking, Tom!
But this is just in and—‘
Thinking!
…torture. I pause. Where was I? Damned. Do you have to always interrupt, Tom? Do you…? OK, got it. Torture more violent and painful than anything the world’s dictators would ever stoop to inflict. Perhaps another driver has eating nothing but lardy junk-food for his entire life, and, his big head and enormous ass hardly fitting the fugly Japanese Toyota Corolla as it approaches mine on the freeway, his clogged heart fails. Rrrramboom! Colliding with mine. Or some teenage dope-head with a less than three months driver’s license comes out of nowhere, forcing me into another car, a gasoline tanker truck, over a cliff, through a Mac’ Donald’s window and killing some blimp-heads and lardy asses who are stuffing their faces like there will be no tomorrow.
Accidents do happen.
Despite all my care. Here is a freakish one: you’re driving on an icy road behind a truck which has frozen ice picks and suddenly a huge slice melts enough to get off and flies back toward you, hitting the windshield and causes you to panic, to swerve and veer off the road into a snow-ridden-like Christmas tree…Or a fifteen-hundred pound dumb-elk, the one standing in the dark, ready to jump, it has no idea that your baby is due next week, today’s your birthday or whatever the darn thing or whoever the darn you are?
How about the greasy lining or the text-messaging freak?
The loose lug nuts or the drowsy truck driver driving on your oncoming lane…
Maven?
Yes, Tom.
Bad news, Maven, Tom says, his mechanic voice actually sounding sad.
Hit me, I say
Westbound on 267 Freeway a hardtop coupe challenger that was heading toward New Jersey has sideswiped the inside divider and flipped, trapping the driver inside—‘
Tom! I roar. Local!

My bad, says Tom, trying to sound apologetic. Sorry, Maven.
Yeah right! Connect KCR3 CBS.
…a police pursuit in progress on Robin Hood Drive. According to reports, the suspect vehicle is a white Chevy van which failed to stop for a traffic stop sign at the Quell Lakes residential area. The white Chevy fleeing at 60 miles per hour in 35 miles per hour zone couldn’t take S turn, first hitting the curb and bouncing in the air and through the resident wooden fence along with a brick column and to God’s mystery spinning a 180 degrees facing the route it came from.
Images, Tom.
A dozen of images slide-shows on the screen.

...To be continued.
