Upside Down...Inside Out

On the way to Portland we passed a car packed to the gills with travel items, suitcases, coolers...stuff required to have a good time on vacation. Unfortunately it was sitting on it roof with everyone upside down. The ambulance had just arrived and the snow plow was sitting behind it . The snowplow driver was waving the traffic by but for a moment the line of cars we were in slowed as each of the occupants reflected on, "that coulda been me."

Sometimes we're in such a rush that we miss the signs around that say, slow down, take the scenery in, smell the fresh snow. Instead we end upside down...inside out. Then as we rounded the next corner a semi flew past us followed by 2 other cars without a sense what waited around the next bend.
