2023.06.07 03:41 khoafraelich789 Why Anticipation Is High For High Limit Sprint Cars At Eagle Raceway
The High Limit Sprint Car Series is bringing 410 Sprint Car racing back to Eagle Raceway for the first time since 2017.
The wait is over Tuesday night at Eagle Raceway. For the first time since 2017, winged 410 Sprint Cars captivate the unique Nebraska 1/3-mile oval dubbed America’s Home Track in round five of the inaugural High Limit Sprint Car Series season.
The $50,000-to-win events April 11 at Lakeside Speedway in Kansas City, Kansas, and Sept. 26 at Lernerville Speedway in Sarver, Pennsylvania, may be the most lucrative. And events at Wayne County Speedway in Orrville, Ohio, on May 16 and Kokomo Speedway on Aug. 1 may be the most hyped. But it is Eagle that’s “the most anticipated event of the year,” according to High Limit cofounder and series points leader Kyle Larson.
“(It’s) the one I’ve been looking forward to ever since we started talking about this series over a year ago,” Larson said. “I’m excited to get there.”
Larson and fellow High Limit co-founder, brother-in-law Brad Sweet, partook in the last 410 Sprint Car race at Eagle in June 2017 with the World of Outlaws. And not only did they participate, but Larson won in such thrilling fashion — a last-lap pass of Daryn Pittman — that the race prompted he and Sweet to make Eagle a priority on High Limit’s inaugural schedule.
“I think the excitement’s there. The anticipation is there,” Sweet said. “From my standpoint, I want to make sure I get in there and work with (Eagle owner) Roger (Haden), make sure we can get the track dialed in for these guys. I think it’s crucial. We’re really excited to get out there and create a really good racetrack for these guys, and hopefully let them put on a show.”
Larson’s Eagle win in 2017 has quite the backstory. He wasn’t supposed to race in the WoO event until he asked Ricky Stenhouse Jr. — co-owner of Stenhouse Jr.-Wood Racing with Matt Wood at the time — if he could race a second car for the team that night alone.
“(Ricky) made some calls, we booked the plane, flew in, mounted the seat up, raced, and won,” Larson said. “And then, like, a big storm was coming in and we had to get out of there ASAP or something to get home in time. I think we beat (the pilot’s) duty hours by like two minutes to get home. … I remember my heart was maxed out, pegged. I couldn’t breathe when I got to victory lane, worse than it probably was (last week) at Tri-City. It was just a race I’ll never forget.”
Larson led two of the night’s 30 laps capped off when he executed a Hail Mary move around the top of the final corner to defeat Pittman by 0.183 of a second.
“I probably watched that video five times a day for three months,” Larson said. “It was probably one of the most exciting winged Sprint Car wins to date, at that point, that I have ever had. It was such a cool day, the whole story of that.”
As Sweet put it, Eagle is an “aggressive” racetrack that makes “you get up on the wheel in qualifying.”
“It had some character that night (in 2017) from what I remember,” said Sweet, whose only time at Eagle was also the WoO event that Larson won. “It had a little bit of holes and a big cushion.”
Larson also remembers the atmosphere the night he took the checkers at Eagle, how a great deal of fan support made the win all the more worth remembering.
“That is probably the main reason (there’s a High Limit race at Eagle),” Larson said of the fan support in the WoO’s 2017 event. “But it’s also a great racetrack. It’s pretty small track, bullring, really exciting racing typically that you see there. Each end is different. Yeah, I think it’s going to be a great time.
“I’m excited to go back in (Paul Silva’s) No. 57 and just have a good time. The racing’s been great as you’ve mentioned; every High Limit race. Track prep’s been amazing. I know they’re going to nail it again and it’s going to be a great show. The crowd’s going to be packed. I know a lot of presale tickets have been going.”
Because Eagle is predominately a 305 Sprint Car facility, Sweet said that “having 410 sprint cars is going to be something different” for the racetrack when it comes to prepping the racing surface itself. Other than that, Sweet will wear the race director’s once again on Tuesday, doing what he can to usher the growing series into the summer.
“I think those fans in that part of the country love 410 racing and they haven’t been able to see it a lot,” Sweet said. “Excited to get there. Hopefully the fans really come out and support it so we can keep going back and even build bigger events in that area. Like I said, we’re going to try and make sure we can get the lines as good as we can for the fans and also do the racetrack as good we can so the racers can put on a good show. That’s my goal anyway.”

2023.06.06 01:52 ThrowAway7s2 "Family football fare ends with no show of remorse" from the November 2, 1976 Door County Advocate
| Family football fare ends with no show of remorse JIM ROBERTSON Family football fare ends with no show of remorse Our family reached the end of an era last Friday night when the third of three sons played his last high school football game. Nine years of high school football were over. My wife and I weren't a bit sad. In fact, we were glad it was over. I supposed if we had been the Novaks in Kewaunee we would have felt differently. They also had three sons, all of them on winning football teams. Southern Door has been just the opposite of Kewaunee, a comparatively small, rural-oriented school in one of the toughest conferences in the state. A small fish in a big pond. Although it was competitive in the Packerland's first round robin season in 1971, four lean years followed. If you consider wins and losses this year was also lean. But Southern Door was competitive and had regained respectability this year, at least until Friday night. You'll say that's why we were glad it was over, the bad last game that summed up Southern Door's troubles in the Packerland. Not really. Nine years, nine games to a year, is a long grind. It would be fun to know how much gas alone cost. No, if sports were based only on victory and defeat, you wouldn't find many teams to play. Schools would drop sports and only the strong would be left. And who makes winners anyway? The losers. Football, especially, is dominated by the big and the strong. Call it a bully sport If you will. Consider all the uneven games even in college and pro ball where players are supposedly matched in size and strength. Then consider the big, bruising high school players who go against much smaller kids. In maturity alone it's often men against boys. Unfortunately even basketball is getting that way. Big musclemen under the boards are taking the finesse out of the game. So not only beating but pulverizing an opponent is common. Algoma Coach Steve Mayheu said in his post-game radio interview Friday night that he wanted his seniors to wind up their careers with a "pleasurable experience." But what about the unpleasurable experience of the losers? Too often high school games are becoming more and more a reflection of the pros. Fear of losing, fighting and "pouring it on" are on the increase again in line with the winning is the only thing philosophy. And not just in boys' sports but in girls' as well. It was only a few years ago when girls' sports were just starting to flower that Southern Door Administrator Lloyd Jilot predicted to his school board that "it won't be more than a few years when girls will be worse than the boys." We're already hearing reports of losing girls tearing up locker rooms. Maybe we can get sports back to the proper perspective but I don't know. It's a little hard when we hear an august body like the WIAA editorializing that "we should resolve that we will emphasize LESS our effort to make winners, which we do by concentrating on only some of our students, and emphasize MORE our effort to make sports a reality for most of our students" and then emphasize winning even more by instituting the tie-breaker in football, something the colleges don't even have. But maybe it was ever thus. I became a fan of Sturgeon Bay high school sports as a grade schooler back in the late 30's. I guess it was just as much dog-eat-dog back then as we all grew up hating the big schools like Two Rivers and our rivals down the pike at Algoma. Maybe that's why I'm glad the personal involvement is over. Enjoyment of a game as a two-hour interlude of entertainment is one thing, emotional and temperamental involvement another. We're too much like little kids in our games - angry when we lose and not all that happy when we win. Jon Gast said he waited and waited to see a smile break out on the face of Jim Adams when his Sevastopol team was beating Manitowoc Lutheran for a share of the Bay-Lakes championship. The smile never came until the game was over. So is the enjoyment only in the triumph and not in the game itself? Could it be that sport isn't really the character molder we like to think it is but rather a reflection of an affluent society that not only grabs all it can when it can but often at the expense of the have-nots? And really, for what? I once compared a victory to an expensive steak dinner. No sooner is it eaten than you start thinking about the next meal. Even a bad game is no worse than the stomach flu which passes in the night and by Monday is forgotten. Good and bad seasons alike have already given way to basketball and wrestling. I'm reminded of what Southern Door Principal Tom Van Lieshout said after Southern Door's opening loss to Sturgeon Bay this year. A person should always keep his mouth shut after a game because it's easy to say something you don't really mean. I said that maybe Southern Door should just drop football. Tom said no way, that he had just been talking to Butch Arneman, an old college teammate, and they had been reminiscing over the fun they had — even if they had played on a lousy team. I'm also reminded of a longer time ago then Tom Walker was Sturgeon Bay principal and he said how too many people see green and gold instead of red and white out on Memorial Field. Too many people associate high school football with the pros, while Chuck Lane, public relations director of the Packers, waned up in an interview when he said, "It is all a reflection of the world. People are more cynical. We have billed this (pro football) as a holy war for so long...we may be getting some of it back." Still, maybe I should think back to what our oldest son said when Van Lieshout was talking about his college days. He aid, "we didn't have much of a team, either but I still think of it as a good time in my life." Maybe that's the answer. Let the kids play their games and the rest of us act like adults. Which is easy to say now that I'm no longer a football parent. https://archive.co.door.wi.us/jsp/RcWebImageViewer.jsp?doc_id=1e8fc801-90a4-4104-8e86-19a1ea0947dc/wsbd0000/20170120/00000669&pg_seq=5 Courtesy of the Door County Library Newspaper Archive Previously posted: Two articles by Jim Robertson, discussing girls' baseball "Quotes his peers on Little League" from the April 9, 1974 Door County Advocate https://www.reddit.com/DoorCountyALT/comments/13jk75i/quotes_his_peers_on_little_league_from_the_april/ "Problems start with tryouts" from the April 11, 1974 Door County Advocate https://www.reddit.com/DoorCountyALT/comments/13kiv8q/problems_start_with_tryouts_from_the_april_11/ A series on girls' sports by Linda Adams Part I of the series by Linda Adams was previously posted as "Girls sports have come a long way, not far enough" from the December 27, 1973 Door County Advocate https://www.reddit.com/DoorCountyALT/comments/133xv7s/girls_sports_have_come_a_long_way_not_far_enough/ Part II was previously posted as "Inequities still show in girls sports programs" from the January 3, 1974 Door County Advocate https://www.reddit.com/DoorCountyALT/comments/135abbt/inequities_still_show_in_girls_sports_programs/ Part III was previously posted as "Community acceptance still not part of girls' sports" from the January 10, 1974 Door County Advocate https://www.reddit.com/DoorCountyALT/comments/1369toz/community_acceptance_still_not_part_of_girls/ Part IV was previously posted as "Athletic directors take wide look at girls sports" from the January 17, 1974 Door County Advocate https://www.reddit.com/DoorCountyALT/comments/137a5bk/athletic_directors_take_wide_look_at_girls_sports/ Part V was previously posted as "If past growth continues, girls sports will flourish" from the January 24, 1974 Door County Advocate https://www.reddit.com/DoorCountyALT/comments/1385nqif_past_growth_continues_girls_sports_will/ (a response to the five-part series) "Girls sports pose problem" from the February 12, 1974 Door County Advocate https://www.reddit.com/DoorCountyALT/comments/1395aem/girls_sports_pose_problem_from_the_february_12/ Other articles and posts "Washington Island's Kay Curtis becoming a legend in her time" on June 14, 1977 in the Door County Advocate https://www.reddit.com/DoorCountyALT/comments/131c1w8/washin A grandmotherly perspective on eugenics from the June 2, 1915 Door County News https://www.reddit.com/DoorCountyALT/comments/13b3zya/a_grandmotherly_perspective_on_eugenics_from_the/ "Comments from council" editorial, a rebuke from alleged woman's sports militant Rev.

2023.06.05 19:31 TerryYockey I am all for developing safe, efficient bike infrastructure, but this shit is getting way the fuck out of hand.
The most worrisome part of this is making Higuera one through lane for vehcles in each direction, from where Higuera meets Marsh all the way down to Margarita, near the DMV.
I don't think the section from Bridge to Margarita will necessarily be that bad. I welcome the calming effect it will create on that section because people tend to speed through there.
But the section of Higuera from Bridge Street to Marsh, particularly where it meets Madonna and is one of the most heavily traveled intersections in the entire county? Especially at a time when hundreds if not thousands of homes are being built and planned? Traveling through there during peak hours can be absolutely miserable at times I can't even conceive of what it will be like with a lane reduction on either side.
Anyway, I would like to hear what you guys think about this.

2023.06.05 18:38 surm-dog-millionaire I’m participating in an infraction deferral program for speeding, but I got a bogus ticket in another county that’s currently “pending”. Does this count as a violation that disqualifies me from the def. program??
BACKGROUND I’m gonna give you context to this story just in case it helps. I’ll give location descriptions as well as a general summary of the story so far, but you can skip ahead to the main question if you want.
So, I’m 21 and I live in Indiana. I’ve never had a speeding ticket until January 1st of this year. I have a bit of a lead foot (I get so bored doing repetitive tasks…) and was admittedly driving 80 in a 65. I think it’s worth mentioning that I have a governor on my car that does not let me exceed 80 mph.
Anyways, I get pulled over by a state trooper and he gives me a ticket. Fair enough, I was being stupid. I was going to get like 4 points on my license, which didn’t worry me too much. I was just nervous because I’m still on my parents’ insurance and didn’t want them to be penalized for my mistake. So, I’ve spent the past 5 1/2 months being so annoyingly diligent about my driving and speeds. I’ve never been this careful while driving.
Fast forward to may 13th. Prom season and graduation party season in my town. I was on my way home from my friends house since we had just gotten back from a concert in Chicago (I also personally think it’s worth noting that at this concert I got separated from my friends in the pit and was getting gr0ped by a man who would not let go of me and was significantly larger than me, so I was just freaked out and really wanting to get home to shower). As I was driving through the main part of town that I’ve driven a million times before, some jackass starts riding my bumper. I’m already stressed and jumpy, so I switch into the driving lane to get him away from me to be safe. he just follows me even harder. I can barely even see his headlights because he’s so close to my car and it’s 11:30 at night. I’m trying to get him off my ass because he’s freaking me out, and so I start going EXACTLY 48 mph to gain some ground. I did this in a 45 mph zone. I eventually gain some safe distance, about a car length between us, but then immediately get stopped at a stoplight. This stoplight is literally FEET before the 50 mph zone sign, and the end of the city limits (where he would no longer be able to pull be over, according to my mother). As soon as the light turns green, the car behind me flips its lights on and I realize it’s a cop.
I’m pissed. I was not speeding. I know I was not speeding. I only went 3 mph over when the cop was beginning to make me incredibly uncomfortable because of how he drove dangerously close to my car. Anyway, cop comes to my window and tells me I did 48 in a 35. Which would be great if it were true. The 35 is a solid two miles behind where I even noticed him tailing me, and I know I wasn’t going damn near 50 back in that part of town. You can’t even if you wanted to! The 35 i was allegedly in is located in a part of town where it’s a crawl block… stoplight after stoplight with hardly any time or distance between them to even gain enough speed to end up exceeding the limit, even if you wanted to. That road slowly becomes the highway as the stoplights become further and further apart, and the speed limit increases from a 35 to a 45 at the second to last stoplight, and finally a 45 to 50 at the final stoplight before it’s open highway. I was in this 45-50 transition zone. I hope this description makes sense. I obviously can’t post specific location details as I would prefer to not doxx myself. If the description is incoherent, all you need to know is that the cop started following me in the 45 to 50 area but claimed I was speeding back in the 35 where there isn’t even enough time or space to get above 35.
So that leads us to today. I obviously denied the ticket and went to court. Apparently the way it works where I live (or maybe this is how it is everywhere) is you meet with the prosecutor first when you deny the ticket. If you work something out, then you’re fine. If the prosecutor decides you don’t have a case strong enough to fight it, then he schedules you to have a bench trial. Today (June 5th), I met with the prosecutor (who had a DAB PEN in his SHIRT POCKET?! Remember that I live in Indiana, so this is just a funny detail) and told him what happened when I got the ticket on May 13th. I told him I was being followed unsafely and was being made uncomfortable on the road. I told him I was in a 45 when the cop started tailing me, and he turned his lights on barely within the 45 and pulled me over right after the 50. I explained that the cop had to be following me for a weird amount of time to clock me somehow doing 48 in a 35 which was several miles back, and that I was basically being intimidated by the cops driving. The prosecutor told me it didn’t really matter where I was pulled over because the cop said I was in the 35 when he clocked me. But, I have GPS evidence because my mom insists on tracking my every movement on life 360. I showed the prosecutor that I had hard evidence proving that I didn’t speed in the 35. He ended up dismissing the ticket, I think? I don’t know the terminology, but he essentially told me it will be a pending ticket in the county, so if I go 6 months with no other tickets then it will just go away. I don’t have to pay anything or worry about it. So I told him about my deferral program for the prior incident I mentioned (the 80 in a 65 thing) and asked if this pending ticket will expel me from the deferral program. He had no idea.
MAIN QUESTION/SUMMARY I had a ticket in January for 80 in a 65, signed up for infraction deferral program to get ticket removed from my record so my parent’s insurance doesn’t get penalized. The ticket will be dismissed and wiped from the record as long as I go 6 months with no issues, and the 6 month period ends in july. This was in county A. Then, May 13th, I get given a bogus speeding ticket in county B and I meet with the prosecutor to get it dismissed. Prosecutor waived or dismissed it (idk the terminology???), so no fees are owed and the ticket is now considered pending in county B. If I get another ticket, it will change from pending into a charge (or whatever the correct term is) and it will show on my record and I will have to pay the ticket. As it stands now, will the pending ticket affect my deferral program in county a? All I know from reading the program paperwork is that I cannot get any other “violations”. Will a pending ticket in another county show up for county a? And is a pending ticket considered a violation? Or is it only a violation when it’s not pending, like it’s an actual ticket with a “charge”? I’m afraid to call the office of county A and ask because the county B prosecutor said if I don’t mention it to county A, then maybe they won’t notice it happened.

2023.06.05 07:48 ChocolateCakeEater14 8 Night Trip in U.S. in November
I’m looking to go on an 8 night trip to somewhere in the U.S. in early November this year. I live in Orange County, California for context.
I’m weighing a few options and wanted to see if there’s any other places I should consider.
Seattle Went here Mid-August last year for 3 nights and I enjoyed the bike lanes, light rail, and other things related to urbanism. This was my first choice but I’m second guessing this because I’d be going during Seattle’s rainiest season this time and I went at a time of ample sunlight with no rain last year. I was thinking of just bringing a rainproof jacket and saying fuck it but I might be underestimating things.
Zion National Park With a one day stop at Grand Canyon National Park (I’ve never been). Talked to a friend about this location and he cautioned me about driving in the snow/other weather conditions (always dry roads here). I’d prolly be driving there with my own car unless it’s a better idea to fly to Vegas and get a rental from there.
San Francisco Did a road trip along the coastline from SoCal to SF in 2021. I didn’t get to explore the city too much that time so I’d be interested in exploring it more this time. One hangup is feeling like I won’t get a drastically different experience and feel like my vacation time was wasted.
Others Any other locations I should consider? And what do y’all think about my options

2023.06.05 06:00 wahlukediaz2 Contest Speeding Ticket, WA
I got pulled over driving into a rural town. I have a clean driving record, and have always abided by the speed limits. Pulling out from a campsite i was driving on a two lane highway, not seeing a speed limit i drove with the flow of traffic and assumed a speed of 55 mph. Coming into a small town i got pulled over by a cop. When i saw his lights i THEN came up on a sign that said 30 MPH limit. Which i did slow down for. He said prior to that, there was a 40 MPH limit I had to slow down to coming into town. I can honestly say i did not recall seeing a sign. He gave me a ticket for 12 mph over. I had already started slowing down on my own seeing it looked like i was coming up into a town, when he said he got me going 12 over the limit of 40 mph.
Are these tickets worth contesting? If i show up to court can i contest that there was not a posted or visible 40 mph speed limit sign as the officer stated? This happened in a county over an hour from where I live, otherwise I'd drive over to confirm if there was a sign.
I am aware you can mitigate, but I'm not interested in just lowering the fine. I'm looking to avoid a speeding ticket infraction on my record.

2023.06.05 05:13 JDubz313 Biking to Udvar-Hazy
I plan on checking out Udvar-Hazy on Tuesday. The plan is to metro on the silver line to the best stop, then bike to Udvar-Hazy, tour around for a bit and bike back to NoMa.
While it looks like Dulles would be the closest stop, I don't see an easy route from there to the museum. The next closest stop is Innovation Center, but again no clear routes to the museum. Should I get off at Reston and take the Fairfax County Pkwy Trail south until I can find my way to Sully and over Rt 28 to the museum?
I don't mind riding on the road, but would like to stick to paths/bike lanes as much as possible.
Also need to find my way back to the W&OD Trail from the museum, so if anyone has a good route for that I'd love to hear it as well.
Thanks for any help!

The wild scene unfolded as the Lowndes County Sheriff's Office was assisting the Georgia State Patrol last Wednesday on a highway, according to the sheriff's office. The two sides of the highway are separated by a grass median, and a flatbed tow truck was parked on the opposite side of the highway with its ramp lowered. A sheriff's deputy wearing a body camera was walking in the direction of the tow truck when an apparently distracted driver sped up the lowered ramp. The car blew through a barrier at the back of the ramp and collided with the tow truck's cab as it went airborne. Seconds before the car accelerated up the ramp, a person is seen in the bodycam video walking in front of the tow truck. The person made it to the edge of the highway as the car is seen taking flight behind them. The car landed on its passenger side and flipped over, hitting another car in the other lane, according to CBS affiliate WCTV. The first car eventually came to a stop right side up as smoke rose from the wreck. The driver, identified as a 21-year-old woman from Tallahassee, Florida, survived the crash but suffered serious injuries, WCTV reported. A car is seen on body camera video flying through the air after driving off a flatbed tow truck ramp on a Georgia highway May 24, 2023.

2023.06.05 01:08 autobuzzfeedbot 25 "Cheating Death" Stories That Were So Intense, People Really, Really, Reaaaallly Wanted To Share Them
- "I messed up a jump skydiving. I was able to correct the situation and pull the pilot chute for my canopy, but I was very, very close to having my reserve go off. The reserves are generally reliable, but it’s still nothing I want to test. Landed fine and then got a very stern talking-to for pulling so low."
- "Just google 'Levey PCH,' then ask away…I’ll be very surprised if anyone can beat what happened to me. THANK WHOEVEWHATEVER you believe in for Apple, Scorpion, UCLA, and the LA County Fire Department and Sheriff's Department."
- "Minutes before it happened, I was under the Cypress structure that collapsed during the 1989 Loma Prieta earthquake in California (which was a magnitude 6.9). I was traveling north underneath the double-layered structure and felt creepy and claustrophobic on the brightest day. I raced to get out, as I always did, because I hated being under it. After getting out, I felt like my tire had gone flat and started to weave around in my lane, then I noticed that everyone else was losing control and hitting their brakes too. That was the earthquake. I didn't find out until later about the collapse, and felt like I had been punched in the stomach. I'd never felt so close to death before."
- "I was rappelling off the top of the tallest building in Bangkok (200 meters, or 656 feet) as a promotional stunt. I was supposed to rappel down to the 10th floor, land on a small balcony, and then traverse over to another building. The wind shear off the building was enough to blow me 20–30 feet away from the side of the building. Picture a spider hanging by a thread in the wind. As I got close to the 10th floor, I noticed that my rope had been cut and no longer reached the balcony, let alone the ground. The rope was about 10 feet short of the landing. So, still blowing away from the side of the building, off and on I waited until I was just above the balcony and dropped the last several feet onto the deck. Super pissed but alive."
- "Going to school in San Francisco, I got off the bus to get cigarettes and a soda at a liquor store. I stopped at the trash can on the way out to open my cigarettes and soda and walked half a block up the street when a crane fell off the roof right where I'd been standing 30 seconds before. The crane operator was killed, and half a minute earlier, I would have been as well."
- "Although being an ironworker comes with its fair share of risk, as long as you don’t become too incompetent, things can be safe. But that is easier said than done, seeing as the days are long and the work is physically draining. One day, I was about 60 feet in the air rigging a beam to be lowered to the ground. I signaled the crane operator to 'cable up' (lift the beam), but the beam wasn’t budging. I decided to look down the beam to see what was wrong...BANG! Before I knew it, the beam broke free and came up at my face with about 2,000 pounds of force. It knocked off my hard hat and hit every edge of my safety glasses, missing the side of my face by a quarter inch. I thought I had died, it was so sudden. I should never have put myself in what we call 'the line of fire.' I’ll never forget how close my kids were to losing their father that day because I let my judgment slip. Still gives me goosebumps talking about it."
- "I got hit by a car and walked away with no injuries. The Sunday before final exams during my last semester of college, I went to the library at 6 a.m. to study. At 2 p.m., I needed a break and started walking back to my car. At an intersection, I stopped, made eye contact with the driver of a car at a stop sign, and started walking across the street on a crosswalk. The next thing I knew, I was up on the windshield of a Jeep Grand Cherokee. He hit the brakes, and I rolled off the hood of his car and landed on my feet. I was so freaked out that I told the guy I was fine and left. Later that afternoon, I went to the hospital to get checked out and had no injuries. The doctor told me to buy a lottery ticket on my way home because I was so lucky."
- "While I was doing the dishes, my hip bumped the dial on my stove, turning it to ignite, but I didn't notice, so the stove was leaking gas all night. In the morning, I could tell something smelled off, but I have a hard time smelling things, so I just figured it was some old cauliflower rice I had thrown out the night before. To deal with the smell, I lit not one, but two candles, one of which was right next to the stove. Later, after coming back from running errands, as soon as I opened the door, I felt instantly violently ill, like a migraine and the flu all at once. Probably 20 minutes later, I finally saw the knob on the stove and realized what was happening."
- "One time, I was watching TV in my lounge room and I was sitting on the floor eating. We have a really big TV and we had an earthquake, but I thought it was a train passing by. It wasn't. I ran out of the room as everything started to wobble, and the TV nearly fell on top of me."
- "I went to summer camp when I was 15, and for our last weekend activity, they took us to Martha’s Vineyard and rented us bikes. Now, I loved riding bikes in the park as a kid but had never ridden in the street. But since 'you never forget how to ride a bike,' I figured I could do it. I headed out and tried to go up a street that was very steep. I started to lose control of the bike, and I fell into the street in between a truck that was hauling a trailer (I fell in front of the trailer). I saw this huge wheel coming at me, and my leg was stuck from the fall. I screamed as hard as I could and hoped it wouldn’t kill me (others told me they heard it a few streets away). The driver luckily heard it and slammed on the brakes; I was scuffed up but otherwise fine. You can indeed forget how to ride a bike."
- "I got hit by a train. I was living and working at a college that has train tracks running through it and only a stop sign before you cross them at the vehicle intersection. You had to cross the tracks to leave campus. I was headed to the gym in July, and the windows were rolled up and the AC and radio were blasting. I’d crossed that crossing a thousand times, so I stopped a bit, passed the stop sign, and looked right, but the train was coming from the left. Its horn blew, but I panicked when I heard it, so I hit the accelerator but braked immediately. I was already on the tracks. It only hit my front end and dragged me about 200 feet down the tracks. I only had a broken rib, three cracked ribs, and a pretty gnarly cut on my finger. The people at the next crossing probably thought they saw someone die."
- "My last day of driver’s education class, we were just about back to school. We were all feeling pretty good because we’d passed our tests that day. I was in the rear driver’s seat and had a classmate driving, one next to me, and a teacher in the passenger seat. We went through a green light at LITERALLY the last intersection before school when a car blew through the red light going 55 mph and slammed into us on my side, just a few inches back from where I was sitting. It spun our car into the intersection and kept going! We were all concussed and had to be taken to the hospital, but that was it. When we went to retrieve my bags from the trunk of the wreckage at the salvage yard, the shop owner admitted he hadn’t answered my ringing phone because he didn't think we had survived, and didn’t want to break the news to everyone calling me. Two inches between me and being crushed alive. In driver’s ed!"
- "I was walking to class one day, and the shortest route went under a viaduct. It had been snowing and melting on and off for the past few days. The viaduct is about 100 feet high, and just as I was about to walk from under it and onto the pavement, a 6-foot icicle fell those 100 feet and smashed into the ground in front of me. Suffice to say, I took that as a sign not to go to my lecture and turned back home!"
- "I was asleep in the passenger seat of a car on a highway when we flipped going about 80 mph. We rolled a few times and landed in a ditch. Airbags did not go off, and I shattered the passenger-side window with my skull. I literally walked away from it and didn't go to an ER until a few hours later. I literally had a concussion and one teeny bruise on my right arm, but nothing else. The nurses told me that if I had been awake for the accident, my neck would have snapped and I'd have died immediately. Whenever I tell people, they're always stunned — imagine my reaction waking up to a missing side window and a crushed car and being fully functional! I feel lucky every day that I was asleep and still have my life."
- "There was one time my sister and I were driving down a long road with a huge cemetery. I thought it would be funny to hold my breath because people say if you don’t, the spirits of dead people will haunt you or something. When I held my breath, my sister slowed down to torture me. I was a little annoyed, but at the stop sign at the intersection, this car going really fast didn’t even bother to slow down. They even swerved into our lane, so my sister had to barely dodge. I swear, though, if my sister hadn't slowed down to torture me, we would have been in a bad wreck. Now I’m not annoyed that she did that, I’m lucky."
- "This isn't dramatic, but it's continued to impact my life on a daily basis. When I was 11, I was playing baseball with the rest of my gym class. We took a time-out to argue about who was batting next, and I stood behind home plate, staring into left field. Play resumed, and no one told me to move. The strongest guy in the class laid down a single...and hit me in his backswing...with the baseball bat...in the middle of my forehead. I suffered skull fractures and a brain bleed. To this day, I have anxiety driven by the traumatic brain injury. The neurologist said that the fact that he hit the ball saved my life. Had he swung and missed, I would have died."
- "I was in college and I had just finished my last class of the day. It was a short walk to my car that consisted of crossing a pedestrian crosswalk on the street separating the school from parking. On each side of the crosswalk were speed bumps so cars were forced to slow down. At this time of day, a good number of students were getting out of class, and a large herd of us started crossing the street at the crosswalk. There must have been 30 of us. I was stupidly looking down at my phone and was walking rather slowly. I didn’t realize that I was lagging behind. Everyone else was on the other side and I was still in the middle of the street. At the same moment, I noticed a freaking DUMP TRUCK whizzing by in front of me. It was probably 1–2 feet in front of me. Either he didn’t see me still crossing or he didn’t care. After I got to my car, all I could do was sit there in silence for a while and contemplate what could have just happened. Even as I write this, I shudder."
- "This is definitely not the craziest cheating-death story, but it was definitely scary. I was at a waterpark with my family, and I don’t do well with heat and stairs — something about the combination makes me faint. We went on a waterslide that uses tubes, and it was a long trek up. I apparently was so sick from heat exhaustion, I passed out as I was next in line and hit my head on the tube. If it weren’t for the tube, they aren't sure I’d be alive right now."
- "It was during Christmastime, and my mom, my little brother, and I all wanted to go look at Christmas lights near the middle school. There was a hill and then a lane where you would wait for the light to turn green and then you had to turn left. Well, the main light had turned red, so it was our turn to go, and thank god my mom checked before going, because if she hadn’t checked, a truck would have hit us, going like 60 mph, straight through the side of our car where my little brother was sitting."
- "I was 4 or 5, and we were living in Estes Park, Colorado. At that time, I was challenging myself to go closer and closer to a river they have there. I was caught by the current and would’ve run into several rocks and a waterwheel if it weren’t for my cousin, who reached down, grabbed my arm, and saved me."
- "I survived hitting an elk in the Canadian Rockies and going down a mountain 15 times end over end, stopping 20 feet short of a whitewater river. I gave myself first aid. Doctors said I would never walk normally again and I'd have brain damage. I sent one of them a picture of me with three gold medals around my neck."
- "In the fall of '15, I was riding my motorcycle to work on a foggy morning. A truck with an enclosed trailer ran a stop sign in front of me while I was driving on a 55 mph road. I was unable to stop, ran into the trailer, and was pinned underneath the trailer, being crushed to death. A farmer was on his dirt bike behind the truck going to meet another farmer for coffee who lived on the corner of the intersection. Once he realized I was pinned, he ran to get his friend and his friend's skid-steer loader. They then used the skid loader to lift the trailer off of me and began CPR. Luckily, right as they started, a sheriff's deputy arrived on scene and took over. I owe my life to those two farmers. If they hadn't acted, I would have died underneath the trailer, as there would have been no way for first responders to lift it off of me (it had thousands of pounds of equipment in it) in time."
- "I've always been handy with tools and taught myself how to do things; I've been changing flat tires for anyone who'll let me. However, one day when I was about 18 years old, my buddy came over to chill, and he had his dad's brand-new Tacoma. So we chilled for a couple of hours, and when it was time for him to leave, we noticed that his front tire was flat, so naturally, I volunteered to change it (no prior experience with independent suspensions). I placed the jack on the frame and started to go at it — lifted the car enough to take the flat out. But when the fully inflated wheel was fitted, it didn't have clearance. My first thought was to get a second jack. Half my body was underneath the car, putting the jack in, when I heard a creek, and the next thing I knew, the car slipped. The car ended up with the front end touching the ground, and I got a big scrape mark on my shoulder. To this day, I don't know how or why I did not die under that Tacoma."
- "I lived alone with my dog. There was a hole in my gas heater, so it was leaking carbon monoxide, but of course I didn't know that at the time. My dog woke me up one morning, barking and whining, and I thought she had to go out to potty. When I sat up in bed, I got so dizzy and thought I would throw up. I ended up passing out twice, once hitting my head on the bathroom cabinet, very close to my temple, and once hitting my chin on the toilet seat. I called my boss — the only phone number I remembered at the time. (This was before cellphones.) She called 911 and they came to get me. They figured out I had carbon monoxide poisoning, and I was in the ER for eight hours that day. The doctor told that when blood gases are at a certain amount, the victim goes into a coma, without fail. Mine were more than double whatever that number was. He said no matter how much my dog was barking, I should not have woken up."
- Finally, "I was at the beach with several of my friends, my sister, and my mom. Mom was sitting on the beach watching us. We were around 11–14, I believe, but no younger than 9. Kind of out of nowhere, we started getting sucked under the water in a rip current. I was being sucked under the pier and slammed my face into the barnacles. We were screaming for help, but at first, no one came. As I was being dragged under the water and coming up screaming for help, I could see people just staring and could hear my friends also screaming for help. Finally, people started jumping into the water to save us, including my mom. She jumped in and instantly got sucked into the current but managed to grab one of my friends. She used her body to shield him from the razor-sharp barnacles."

2023.06.04 16:32 Professional_Fee578 RVA have a weak interstate/highway system.
Bro!! Widening VA-288 asap. It shouldn’t take me 30 minutes to get from West Broad to Hull Street Road….On a Saturday night (~9pm). Too many f***ing cars on that road. The speed limit is too slow. If Richmond had a legit beltway, 288 would be an interstate with 4 lanes both directions. I live in Chesterfield, the largest and fastest growing county in the region, and our primary highways are two 4 lane highways (288 and Po-white). Ridiculous!! Our highways are weak compared to NC cities and MD cities. Don’t get me started with 64 West…

2023.06.03 19:23 SeaworthinessNew4295 Are there any civil engineers and citizens who would be able to help write a letter to the State Legislature and Kanawha County about increasing the use of roundabouts in our state? (Specifically Cross Lanes)
Crosslanes has three four way stoplight intersections along a two-three mile stretch of the main road. This causes a stupid amount of traffic during rush hour.
The majority of people going through the intersections are trying to get to the interstate, which is straight down Big Tyler, but the stoplights force traffic to a complete stop for the small number of traffic not going straight forward.
It's ridiculous. It can take 15 minutes to get out of Cross Lanes on Big Tyler during rush hour, and I'm convinced it's completely to do with the poor design of the roads.
Are there any professionals who would be willing to help write a letter to Kanawha County and the State Legislatures about this issue? I would love some professional input. Any citizens who would also like to right a letter should get into contact with me as well.
