I almost died

Normally when I say this, I finish that statement with, “That’s a lie I was really in no danger at all”.  This time I really did almost die. Driving home last night, I experienced some treachorous driving conditons. Wind, rain, possible flying objects but I can’t confirm or deny that. I’m cruising along well over the suggested speed limit on the highway. I drive an SUV, which is basically a big sail in a storm. At about 80 mph, I hit a patch of water on the highway, car starts jacking sideways, and I check my pants to make sure they are still dry.  I am never scared about driving in the winter with snow on the road, why should rain worry me.  If there was a car next to me or behind me when that happend, my ass would be pushing up daisies. Its just a testament to my superb defensive driving abilities but I don’t want to brag about that just yet.  Since when did rain become a threat to my well-being. God damnit its water. Mother nature needs to mind her god damn business and stay out of my personal affairs.
