Ever been in that super curly uh oh moment, where it's not looking great?

yesterday driving into Bundaberg, (the nearest big town-100 miles away)...we had a curly moment.... a semi trailer overtook a caravan and 4wd right in front of us.... he was committed to being on ourside of the road, he couldn't drop back behind the 4wd and caravan, he would have forced them off the road... he's doing 100km/h, we're doing a 100km/h both heading straight for each other.

We're in a little car, not a lot of choices.... either kiss the grill of a Kenworth truck, or go rallying in the sugarcane fields...

...in that moment of diving off the road, and seeing his front tyre in the driver's side window....

you know what flashed through my mind?

'Bugger!'

that was it.... no life movie, no grasping on to life, no acceptance of imminent death.... just 'Bugger!'...

After doing a cool 'plane' sideways towards a telegraph pole, missing that, ditch diving, and not rolling, and stopping on all four tyres, I then thought, 'Geez Rhi's birthday would have been crap if we got nailed by the truck'- (Rhi is my youngest and her birthday is tomorrow, she'll be 12).

How weird is that?

We were all ok, the car needs an alignment, and it shook everyone up a bit, but for me was so hilarious.... I couldn't stop laughing and cracking macabre jokes all day... for me, rather than go into all the scenarios of what COULD have happened, I went to "wonder if it would have been a hose clean up or a vacuum cleaner clean up"... I went into...'it didn't happen' scenarios...


So much for the great profound last thought!

Anyone else had a close shave with death, and had weird thoughts?
