Right place at the right time..."bloggable moment"

I woundn't consider today a very normal day considering school and all, but what happened later tonight was definitly not an everyday thing. So for some reason i was on my way to nisswa to pick up my dad (yes this is a car related story and yes i'm fine), i guess his brakes suck and that's where he takes his truck to get it fixed,... we were on our way home (about 7:30pm) and had just passed schafers foods and the waterslide area when we noticed a maroon-ish colored car literally rolling toward us. i pulled over and my dad got out of the car immediatly and dashed across the road, we seemed to be the first and only ones stopping and we were on the other side of the road. the car was driving on the inside lane and must have lost control and flipped at least four times into the ditch median and landed on it's top! it was scary cause i had no idea who was in the car, especially if there were children because i could hear a girl making noise.
My dad called the police immediatly and helped the younger couple crawl out of the front windshield of the car. they were all right. the man seemed okay, and his girlfriend (?) had some cuts, was complaining of her arm, and was a little shaken up. together they looked so dazed sitting in the middle of the ditch with their vehicle upside down with grass caught in the tires and everything that was in the car scattered around them as the cars that passed by slowed down and glared out their windows.
I guess it's not everyday that you see a car roll five times across the median during the spring daylight and assist them in crawling out their windshield. the couple appeared to be quite young, and may have been drinking, but life will go on., they were lucky. this is a unique story but the blog is interesting b/c this kind of stuff does happen when your with my family...ie: my dad was the one who called the police when the hellicopter went down over forestview school. family thing maybe..
I leave you with this carpe diem people, sieze the day, you only live life once, and liquor will not solve your problems. Keep it real, and buckle up, Kummet

i'm glad your blog isn't completely dead.

(yet)

"Keep it real, and buckle up" <---that's catchy. i'm gonna make a bumper sticker out of that.
