Filed Under (Accounts, Cars, Stark Raving Mad) by Sarah on December-8-2005

Today is the 25th anniversary of John Lennon’s (the Beatle, not the chaplin) assassination and the eight anniversary of my car wreck in which I spun out on a left exit ramp, jumped an embankment, rolled down a hill back onto the interstate and was broadsided and stuck under a semi owned by the dubious Sam Walton, et al, suffered a traumatic brain injury and was unconscious in the hospital for three days. So sayeth the police report. My first words in the hospital and my first memory? Awaking while the nurse was shoving a potassium IV into my arm and I telling her that the chemical symbol for potassium was K, a fact which I only remember as it is an integral componet of the narrative. We shall be sure to toast this and the Sure Swift Hand at dinner tonight with Jon and Michael at the Cayene Cafe.

Sarah,
8 years ago was a scarry time for me. Last night I wore your boarding jacket like you wore that frightful evening. That was the last time we ever purchased anything from Abercromby & Fitch (a.k.a. Scrooge & Marley).

As to the semi…. It wasn’t Sam Walton’s. The truck was from MONSON Trucking. A trucking firm that delivers paper to printing companies like ours from the regions of northern MN & Canada. They even frequent Johnson/Anderson. I shutter each time I see them. Glad you’re still with us.

Blessings today & this CHRISTmastime!

Dad

I’ve always been told it was a Sam’s Club semi?

Wow, that is some story. Praise the Lord for his protection! My parents once had an accident in Texas where a steep curve came up on them unawares and they flipped over in the car. Neither was wearing a seatbelt and they later said that “fat angels” protected them during the crash!
What people were you referring to on my blog? Was it my kids or did you look up the anti-article links?

PS did you want a nursing cover? I never sent you a gift for Evelyn. Pick the one you want and it’s yours.

Sarah Faith,
Are “Fat Angels” another name for “deployed air bags”?

Praise HIM, that He has given His angels charge concerning us.

Ask my mom about why mark chapman killed john lennon. You won’t believe it!

Jon S. on December 13th, 2005 at 8:21 am

He claimed God told him to, right?

Archer on December 13th, 2005 at 9:16 am

it actually has to do with mom, her roommate in college (who mark chapman dedicated the death to), and covenant college!
