Don’t you just love it when some idiot pulls out in front of you?

I’m chugging up my road at 25 mph (in other words, going the speed limit), and this lady backs right out in front of me. Literally right in front of me. I blew my horn to no avail. I ended up having to make a hard stop to avoid a collision. And at that I was successful. We didn’t hit. We missed each other by about four or five feet, I’d say.
Still, for me that’s too close for a car perpendicular to my direction of travel. After everyone stopped, she pulled back into her driveway, enabling me to proceed.
But anyway, that left me a little shaken nonetheless. Thus why I’m writing in my Journal before hooking up the cable Internet.
Otherwise, though, I had fun while I was out. I went to the Virginia Employment Commission to register for their services for assistance in finding that dream job in Washington. I also went up to Adelphia Cable on Augusta Street in Staunton to get a box of cable stuff for the Internet service. And then I went to Wally World in Staunton to get all the equipment for the connection. And now I get to set it all up. Next entry will be on that sweet, sweet cable.

Quote: "Okay, your eyes bugged out. That's okay if you're not sure yourself. That's fine." - Me to one of the electronics associates about a question about the cable modem that, by their physical reaction alone, indicated to me that they had no idea.
