Well I have had a day full of smashing cars, police sirens, flashing lights, gun fire, screaming kids, and tow trucks. Just another crazy day in the life of a seminary student I suppose. On my weekly hour and fifteen minute Monday commute to the city I knew right away that my day would be strange when I got on the highway. As I was driving I noticed an awful lot of snow in patches on the road so I decided I needed to slow down. As I slowed down and moved to the other lane, this girl came blazing past me. I thought to myself, “self. I wouldn’t want to be in her car because I bet she has an accide…” and suddenly there she is spinning, spinning, spinning, *crash* As I am driving through flying snow, dirt, and car pieces I reached for my phone and called the highway patrol for her and several people stopped to help. Good thing I slowed down or that would have been me with the airbag in my face.
Unfortunately that is just the beginning of my odd day. I had to make a couple hospital visits in the city before I met a friend for lunch. After I left the hospital I made it over to the parking lot of the Baptist Association building in St. Louis a little early and decided to read while I was waiting for my friend. It was getting a little warm in the car so I decided to get out and put my heavy coat in the back seat. When I got out of my car I heard a couple of young guys screaming and saw them running into the side door of the Jewish Deli across the street. I thought that was a little strange, but didn’t think nothing more about it until I sat back down in the car and heard this loud *boom*. By the time I looked up all I saw was this car in the middle of the road with the front in smashed in and this poor lady with two very young kids climbing out. There were no other cars. Within minutes the area was surrounded with 5 or 6 police cars, news trucks, and camera men. This was very strange indeed and I had no clue what was going on. After the tow truck towed the car out of the way I decided to walk over to the deli where I was going to meet my friend anyway and see if I could find out what all this mess was about. Apparently these two guys were being chased and shot at by some people in an SUV and I am guessing that as they ran into the deli the SUV caused the accident with this car and drove off. This of course is what witnesses were saying in the deli, but I am going to watch the news tonight to see if I can find out more about it. Never a dull moment…
Pressed - but thankfully not crushed.
