Old Turkey Buzzard!

A few hours ago...today...just minding my own business, I was riding my motorcycle around and praying about preaching tomorrow, and I almost died.

I think the worst part would have been dying and no one having an idea of where to find me. I don't even know where I was! (Sometimes I just go out and ride, and get lost so I can try to find my way home. I know...I need a new hobby. WAIT...that is my new hobby!)

Really...I almost died...on the motorcycle! I always thought any close calls would come from cars, or trucks, or the occasional renegade deer jumping out at me. Oh, no...that would be FAR TOO SIMPLE of a way for me to almost chew pavement. But, I digress. Where was I?

That's right...just riding along...enjoying the scenery...praying...

WHEN OUT OF THE SKY COME TWO GIANT TURKEY BUZZARDS SWOOPING DOWN AT ME!!!

I jerked to the left, and my heart raced faster than the pistons in the engine could ever pump! They missed me. I have NO IDEA why they swooped at me, but after I traveled down the road a bit, I did what anyone would have done in my situation: I went back!

There they were, sitting in the tree...probably laughing at me.

Anyway, they swooped. I ducked. They missed. I lived.
