Right before our eyes

The scariest thing happened to us on the way to chess club this afternoon. Directly in front of us, a car coming the opposite way hit an older man on a motorcycle/scooter thing. The lady that hit him and her passenger jumped out and called the ambulance. My kids were telling me to go help him breathe, I know CPR. I just sat in my car and watched him roll around on the ground, then get still. I think he was in shock. Oh in case your wondering why I just sat there, it was because so many people were already there, and I heard them telling him to lay still. I would've helped if I could have been of any use. The ambulance was literally there in under 3 minutes, and an unmarked police car was immediately on the scene. I have never witnessed an accident that close up before, Evan actually saw the car hit him as he was changing lanes or coming out of a side street. I only saw the man and bike sliding in the road. I really think he was going to be Okay, because he pretty much slid out instead of getting his body hit.

In other news my husband is heading off to the UK soon to do some training with the British military. He invited me along but I said no, and no I'm not crazy. Traveling with him on business is kinda frustrating, he is totally busy and wrapped up in what needs to be done, he's up early and to bed late meeting with people, and I sit around the dinner table listening to other peoples conversations because I usually can't follow the technical jargon. Several people said I should spend my days sightseeing by myself, but that seems lonely to me. I would hate to see all that cool stuff w/out him, so alas I am staying home.
