Oh, no! The day just ended and I did not make a post! I feel as though I have squandered my whole life away

Here's why I didn't make a post - because this damn guy blocked the road in front of me and I had to sit here for 59 hours today and so I did not get a chance to post.

Actually, that's not true. I would like to blame him, but I can't. What happened was, all day long I have been working on a little project that I targeted to complete at 4:00 PM. I am nowhere near completion and now I hope to have it done by 4:00 AM.

But I doubt it.

And then, just before midnight, I could not find a picture that I needed and then my computer froze and then I had to do a restart and by the time everything was up and running again, today was over and tomorrow had begun.

So I did not make a post today, and now it is tomorrow, so I can never make a post today. Yet, it is today and here I post.

I did break away for just a little before today became yesterday and I crossed the bridge over the Little Su, doing 197 mph, and as I came around the corner, this is what I saw in front of me.

I had to act lightning fast and stop on the spot, or I would have crashed into this thing, been killed and I never would have taken this picture.

We photographers live dangerous and challenging lives.

I should also note that I spent the entire day by myself, I had no conversation with anyone, except for the cats and all they wanted to do was argue. They outwitted me every time.
