Near death on the road to Hotel Chelsea

I was driving along at 70 or so on 95 North. Clear, sunny, warm day that was yesterday seemed to be the perfect road trip conditions until out of nowhere a very old man sideswiped my car. Thankfully my passengers Victoria and Alicia saw him obviously not looking and veering over into my lane and warned me seconds before he hit us.

My car swerved and swayed violently — plus we were surrounded on all sides by large vehicles all also traveling at 70+ — but somehow I maintained control of the car, and stopped it from spinning out, then pulled over without getting hit by any other cars.

If this guy had hit us a few inches more towards the front wheel and caused a blowout there is likely no way I could have maintained control of our car whatsoever.

When we got to our destination, the Hotel Chelsea, I was delighted to find a portrait of Sabina that I made and hung in the hallways during my last stay in August 2007 still hangs.





All's well that ends well.
