I got off work around 2300 and headed home. I got onto 99W going about 60 mph, speed limit is 55 on this two lane road. Up the road from me was a car on the shoulder with his hazzards on. He was on the opposite side of the road to me. A car was coming my direction, and we were going to meet right where the "broken down" car is.
My vision was being hampered by the oncoming car's headlights. I slow down to about 45 as I approach the cars. I meet the oncoming car right where the other car was at. We pass each other and I get away from his headlights and low and behold here is some DA standing right in front of me. :--) I did not have time to react at all, he just appeared out of nowhere.
There is a vineyard at the edge of the highway and this joker was stealing grapes. He had his shirt pulled out and had a lot of grapes in the shirt. He was standing in my lane waiting for the other car to pass then he was going to walk to his car.
I slammed on my brakes and stopped. It was pitch black out and no one around, the other car did not even stop. I am sitting there listening to the Cummins and my heart beat. There are grapes splatered across the windshield. I did not want to get out because I was afraid to see what I thought I would. I did get out and was shaking something bad. I looked back and there was this DumbA$$ going back to get more grapes, somehow I missed him. Only thing is now I want to beat the living He!! out of him. I walk up to him and he looks over and says, "Sorry I did not see you coming. " He is drunk and I told him to keep picking the grapes I was going to call the law. Just my luck no cell phone service, and this guy drove off.
Now how can someone miss a 3500 all lit up when it is pitch black out. He came sooo close to going to the big vineyard in the sky. I am still shaking over this.
