Crash, Bang, Boom!!!

It's definitely not something to make light of....we've been up close and luckily not personal to three major traffic accidents this week already.  We had commented earlier this month that the daily paper has large color photos on the front page every day of another accident...and now we've seen it all before it hits the front page.  Not good!  I skipped taking photos, however!   And the problem around here is that there aren't that many "through" roads...and all the roads are curving, winding and hilly (6% to 9% grades)  So, when there is an accident,  traffic is a total mess...for hours!   One on Sunday as we were leaving the amusement park was the most graffic and tragic...it still haunts us.  Wednesday's caused us to turn around and drive about 10 miles back to Elysburg, go south a ways and then take another road  15 miles to Sunbury to get to Coffey's ball game...getting there just in time...and then having the game rained out after three pitches.  Today's was at the intersection just down from the McCurdy's home as we were coming for the day.  One of the crashed vehicles looked just like Ann's and I madly made unanswered phone calls trying to make sure it wasn't her.  It wasn't!!!   And so, life goes on.....multiple ball games and practices, dental appointments, music lessons, flag corp workouts as well as cleaning, cooking, painting and dog walking at home.
