Arrived Alive

Finn Riding out of the Hotel

August 19, 2024

 Chris and I completed our travel arriving in Odenton, MD, yesterday early afternoon. The trip was not without two serious unwanted incidents caused by inattentive or aggressive drivers. Both incidents occurred within the last two hours of our travel yesterday. 

I, with some divine intervention, avoided a serious accident when an inattentive driver failed to see my truck next to him and made a strong aggressive lane change causing me to use every bit of shoulder on the left side of the road before a concrete barrier to avoid what would have been a very serious accident. I do not know how our vehicles failed to intersect, but thankfully, we did not collide. In the other incident, about 40 minutes later, an aggressive driver came around a truck, from the wrong side (passenger), and moved through an open lane I was making a lane change into. I noticed the fast-mover and aborted my lane change rather abruptly.

Thankfully, the drive is complete. We were blessed with great weather and our hotel stop is a keeper. We will likely use it again on our travels. 

Finnegan started the day by humorously riding out of the hotel on the baggage cart. He was cute sitting among our belongings. He ensured he was not forgotten. 

Like we could forget him?

Programming note: Facebook still has not responded regarding the post they took down. I continue to await the promised response to my appeal.
