Good morning Value buddies.
What a fantastic day.
Certainly, you had read about my first trip (driving) in US.
It was a business trip to IBM - Research Triangle Park, North Carolina: here
If you had not read about my story, then a quick revision:
Link
Another business trip and
I touched down in Loveland.
Small jet plane, equally small airport.
This time I was given a Ford Mondeo.
Big size and sure look powerful.
Driving from Loveland to Fort Collins is very easy.
Go north on I-25 for 10 miles and left turn to my hotel.
Easy, easy.
The weather is nice.
Cooling with bright sun shine.
I-25 is no good.
Many big trucks.
Speeding like mad.
Closing fast behind me.
I had to give way by steering into the faster lane
aka middle lane of this 3 lanes highway.
Luckily, not so many cars, just many big monster trucks.
I saw my exit sign pointing to the right.
Roger.
Slow down, slow down.
Get ready to steer out of of the highway.
It's a gentle spur, slopping up to my right.
My speedometer read 60.
I make a turn and all hell break loose.
My car tyre was screaming...squeaky.
Not skidding.
I'm holding steady,
and Ford tyre is holding steady too.
The whole world became slow motion.
Everything played out frame by frame.
My foot was already standing by on the break.
I applied my break gently.
Very gently as if I had all the time in the world to play.
I'm in 100% control.
Squeaky sound continue and my Ford gently moving up the slope.
Gently applying my break,
and my Ford gently moving up the slope...
and the squeaky sound disappeared.
Bright sunshine and I'm on my way to Fort Collins.
No sweat!
Yet another day in our busy life.
Love Compassion
