On my way home from Toronto on Saturday I saw a couple of things on the QEW that freaked me out. One was a goose that had been hit by a car. I though it was dead until I saw it feebly lifting its head. I always feel badly when I see an animal on the road that has been hit but is still alive. Then, I was cruising down the road a bit further when I saw what was definitely a dead creature off the inside lane near the divider. I think it was a bear! I am not sure what else it could have been.
The third of the the eerie things I heard about today. I have been working with a friend of mine who has a house he rents out a couple of blocks from my apartment. We were trying to see if we could find a compatible roommate for me to share the house with. My friend, Dan, thought that a salesman at his company would be a good match but I hadn’t met the guy yet. Dan called me today to tell me he had been killed in a freak bus accident this past weekend.
Apparently, he was standing on the upper deck of a double decker shuttle bus going from RFK to the Nationals’ ballpark to see the ball game when the bus went under the 11th Street bridge and he and another guy received fatal head injuries from hitting the bridge. See the article here.
