Night Slide
Tuesday, October 10, 2006
We’ve been on the road for months, and tonight we finally lost it (the road that is). While driving through a mountain pass somewhere on I-80 we hit black ice and took a full spin towards the median. I forced more thoughts into those few moments than I’m accustomed to thinking over the course of a day—everything from “we’re going to die”, to “it’s cool, I’ve got insurance”, and “where’s my camera when I need it?”
Eventually, we stopped safely on the side of the road. My brother, Flex, turned back onto the highway and we kept driving. We lost control a few more times, but nothing too severe. Then, upon reaching the summit, we stopped for a bit of Flip-Flop Ice Skating.
This is the life. Really, it is.
