I post the following Blog and ask you to look at the new pic I made as a personal reminder of my near-death accident July 19, 2004. It was 12:15pm below Charleston, WV on a sunny Monday summer day. My right steer tire blewout when something in the road broke two holes into the sidewall of the tire. I was doing 60 MPH in a 65 MPH zone going into a gentle curve to the left and the tire blewout, I experience an immediate rollover, my truck was demolished beyond recognition, the top of the truck sheered off, the tank flipped over, my rig went about 100 feet off the road, I remember only dust and sunlight moving about the cab ... then to only go into darkness. I did not awaken until in the emergency room of the hospital. I suffered approx 40 stiches on my scalp and above my right eye ... 3 pulled ribs ... muscles pulled from my neck down to my solar plexis ... mino scrapes to my left calf but no fractures or breaks. Yes, I wear a seabelt ALWAYS!!! Angel's Riding Shotgun that day ... please rate the pic and blog if you will. I am greatful to be alive today today to share this with all of you ... the pic is the one with the Horse Shoe, Tag, Shamrock and a bottle (emptied) of Killian's Irish Red Beer ... all a reminder today! I keep the items in my truck and will always do so ... except the beer bottle ;-) LOL
