Why me?
I don't know what the hell's going on these days, but I'm beginning to seriously consider locking myself in my room. Welcome to the latest shitty thing to, literally, land in my lap.

Some mouthbreathing inbred peckerheads decided it would be fun to toss large metal objects off the 144th St overpass onto I-25, where your intrepid host was cruising along at a stately 80 mph. These brilliant young examples of the success of the public school system and modern parenting tossed what appears to be, upon further inspection of the damage, a circular saw blade right through the windshield of the Great White Hunter.
Luckily, the object hit the top of the windshield and deflected off the metal body, as opposed to coming directly through the glass protecting my oh-so-fragile corporeal self. I've got minor glass cuts from the fragments, but nothing too major, and I managed to keep the car under control and bring it to a stop safely out of traffic. All in all, it could've been much worse.
I really don't need this right now, though.

I'm glad you're okay.

Posted by: Danelle on September 16, 2003 08:27 AMIf we had flying cars, this couldn't happen. Alternatively, when are we going to start arming our road vehicles with RPG launchers?
Glad you came through it okay.
Posted by: Phil on September 16, 2003 10:39 AMDamn!!!! That is majorly screwed up. I would be all over the local schools and making sure that someone addressed to these asshats how much worse this could have been.
Glad you are okay!
Posted by: T-Square on September 16, 2003 11:16 AMHoly shit, dude! You could have died! Have you talked to the cops? Not that it will help catch these guys, but just to see if this has happened before.
I think if I were you, I'd stay in bed, except that your stalker knows where you live.
Posted by: Matt Moore on September 16, 2003 11:24 AMOh MY! I am so glad you're ok, Matt. sheesh. this is awful.
Posted by: Jo on September 16, 2003 01:08 PMSeriously, If you went up to Horizon and offered $100 for "info leading to"...you'd get some singing canaries.
