I think he was being chased by the fuzz

My sister works at a pizza place. Tonight after her shift ended she chatted with her friend for a while. She took the usual way home. She gets to a stop sign with 2 people behind her. She has her blinker on to turn left. Nobody is coming from the opposite direction. She starts to turn. A guy driving a truck comes out of nowhere. Waiting at the stop sign is too much of a hassle for him. He comes up from behind my sister and the two cars behind her. He is pushing 85 mph. He swerves onto the left side of the road and passes the two cars behind my sister. Obviously he didn't care about how many laws he was breaking. He misses my sister's car by about a foot. He got so close that her car shook. He was going so fast she couldn't even see his license plate number. Or she would've called the police. We have a feeling that he was already being followed by the police. I hope he was. I hope he sisn't hit somone. And I am so grateful that he didn't hit my sister. There's no doubt that it would've killed her instantly. Scary thoughts.

I'm glad she's safe. This just reconfirms that we can't trust other drivers and we can only control ourselves and our reckless driving can change someone's life in an instant.



To lighten the mood...

Michael Scott:

Guess what? I have flaws. What are they? Oh I don't know... I sing in the shower. Sometimes I spend too much time volunteering. Occasionally I'll hit somebody with my car. So sue me. No, don't sue me... that's the opposite of the point I'm trying to make.


RECIPE LOVE!!
If you like hummus, have the following ingredients, like to cook and have ten minutes or so. Or if you're a vegetarian, like myself and what something other than salad...

What you'll need

2 (15-ounce) cans chickpeas, drained and rinsed
1/2 cup extra-virgin olive oil, or more as needed, plus more for garnish
1/2 lemon, juiced
2 tablespoons roughly chopped fresh parsley leaves, plus more for garnish
2 cloves garlic, peeled
1 1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon dark Asian sesame oil
1/2 to 1 teaspoon ground cumin
12 to 15 grinds black pepper
1/4 cup water
Paprika, for garnish. Not necessary, but if you have some just sitting about, try it.

Directions

In a blender combine all the ingredients except the parsley and paprika to be used for garnish. Blend on low speed until smooth. You'll have to stop the blender often to push down the ingredients. If the mixture is too dry and you're having trouble blending it, add a few more tablespoons of olive oil to help things along.
Scrape the hummus onto a plate. Sprinkle the paprika over the top, drizzle lightly with olive oil, scatter some parsley on top, and serve. You can make the hummus up to a couple of hours before you serve it. Cover the top with plastic wrap and leave it at room temperature. Eat with chips or my favorite, pita bread.
