This morning as I was out walking the dog I heard a car crash at the intersection of washington.  I looked up just as the car had bounced off a yet another car that was coming right for us.
Just as the car hit the sidewalk the driver swerved and slammed full speed right into the side of my building, maybe 10 feet in front of me, narrowly missing a whole group of people.  One guy had to dive out of the way.
People say this all the time but it really felt like a movie. I wasnt there, I was just watching it all happen.  It wasnt until I got home that the gravity of what had just happened really hit me, I saw Amy and I just started balling.
By the time I got home from work today most everything was good as new, except for this phonebooth which I am happy to report was the only real injury from this whole ordeal. 
When it happened, I was standing where the woman and red is here…. too close
… too close
my hand is still shaking
