Description:
A ditch, with my house visible in the background. A guy on a motorcycle gave it a little too much throttle on the highway painted his damn brains here yesterday at around lunchtime.

This same guy had been hauling ass down this stretch of highway for months now. I actually mentioned him in a Free Post on August 9th of this year:

Man, I wish I had a camcorder.....

I just heard a blip of high rpm throttle a minute ago. I look out my window and there's a guy on a red Kawasaki sport bike sitting in the road near my mailbox, hunched over the handlebars and throwing revs like he's getting ready to launch. Suddenly he lifts his feet, the engine screams at full throttle, and the bike goes absolutely nowhere, promtly falling over onto its left side. XD

The rider jumps up, lifts his bike up, inspecting it for damage, then (apparently satisfied), starts it up and rides off at a normal speed.

And just as I'm typing this now, he just passed on the highway at high speed. He's not wearing a helmet or any type of padding....just blue jeans and a black T-shirt.

#1, Yesterday at around 1:00 pm, I saw a bunch of guys parked along the side of the road, a little frantic and talking too loudly. An ambulance showed up not long later. I was curious about it, but since I hadn't heard the accident occur (it's not even clear at this point WHEN it happened, though it probably wasn't long before he was found, considering his crashed bike was visible from the highway, and it's a busy highway). It wasn't until today that I found out what happened.

Apparently he was northbound at triple digit speeds, when he lost it and plowed right into the ditch, presumably leaved the indentation visible in the photo. He was wearing a helmet this time, but it wasn't attached and flew off in the crash. The body was still on the bike, surprisingly.

Curious addendums: He was engaged to be married in about two weeks, and he was a close relative of the six-year old boy who got run over by a semi while riding his bicycle at this exact spot in 2003.

#3, Just a few hundred feet north (near where my mailbox is) is wear the woman was killed when her Chrysler LHS ran under a Swift tractor trailer in January 2005. I actually called 911 when that one happened. It seems like somebody gets killed in front of my house every two to three years.

Also, on the other side of the ditch (in front of the old store) is where that Dodge Intrepid caught fire a couple of months ago. Luckily, nobody was freaking KILLED in that one.....

The Whynot-Alamucha road (The road leading off the highway to the right) has been rumored to be haunted for half a century now, not to mention similar rumors that have swirled around about my house....I wonder how long before people put two and two together and start saying that this stretch of Highway 19 is cursed.

#7, Sure, as soon as I can afford it, I'll get a place of my own. I have to get a job first, though....I've been laid off since September. :(

In the meantime, I'll be stuck in this surreal, cursed purgatory I've inhabited for the nearly the last six years.

Nothing exciting ever happens near me :(


Most interesting was the guy who wrecked his Suzuki Sidekick on a signpost about a month or so ago

It's currently sitting in the back of one of the gas stations in town with a wrecked front end and red hood

There's an intersection about a quarter of a block north of my friends house that, a couple summers ago, always seemed to have one or two accidents a month. Typically the fire station and a handful of police vehicles were involved. I believe one incident involved an old lady running into a lamp post, another involved a pretty serious collision at the corner gas station, and about half a block north of the intersection I witnessed an old lady who plowed her Grand Am into the back of a truck being carried away on a stretcher to a waiting ambulance.
