18 Wheeler Drives OFF the Highway Onto Student Driving On Continental Blvd

I drive under this overpass every morning on my commute and have for almost 10 years. This was unbelievable. It makes you think of how fragile and random life can be.

Kansas City, Here I Come . . .

Well, after a prolonged absence I'm back. I have just finished an exhausting first two months of 2008 at work, putting in more hours than I have in a long time.
