My more serious diary:
A Walk Through the
Valley of the Shadow

Today we celebrate the birthday of James Dean, born in 1931. Movie critics have all sorts of opinions as to how his career woulda progressed if he hadn't died in a car accident at the ripe old age of 24.

And speaking of accidents, the Concrete Rainbow was closed down for about an hour and a quarter yesterday. From the various and sundry reports and rumors, here's the (probably highly inaccurate) version of the story I've been able to sorta piece together.

Unsecured load falls off of pickup truck. (That's "pickum-up truck" here in southern Maryland.)

Mini-van that has been following pickup truck way too close hits load, is wrecked, driver is injured.

Speed demon on six-day-crouch motorcycle that has been following mini-van way too close becomes emotionally disturbed at having to slow down below 120 mph and swerves past wrecked mini-van and slams head-on into oncoming car.

Car driver is injured by flying glass from shattered windshield.

Motorcycle rider is thrown over car, lands on roadway, and is run over by another car.

Rescue workers trying to reach the scene rant and rave and utter fearsome oaths at the State Highway Commission for designing a narrow bridge with no pedestrian walkways.

The rescue workers find that what little is left of the motorcyclist has a slight pulse, and rescue helicopter is called in.

By the time they get the motorcyclist back down the bridge and into the helicopter, he's dead.

Rescue workers are severely hampered by the idiotic design of the bridge in getting the two injured vehicle drivers into treatment.

I'm waiting to see what equally twisted version is gonna get printed in the local rag.

But anyhow, today is gonna be sunny and semi-cold. A great day to see if we can spend our $5.00 gift certificate from Ace Hardware.

Happy Friday!
