Im glad you were not a Viking kebab. Back in the 90s, I was riding with some pals from fort Riley. We were cruising along minding our own business. A car passed us. There was a broken spike from a farming tractor implement laying on the road. Id say it was like one of those giant rakes that are mounted in the back of the tractor. Im. Sure some one here can tell me exactly what it was.
Anyway the car tires pick up the spike and flings it perfectly at us with the sharp side toward us. It hit right under the hood and just at the grill. A few degrees higher and it could have gone thru the windshield and hit the driver square in the chest or face. Close but God was watching out for us.
Amen. Whether it be divine intervention, the laws of physics, or just random luck, a lot of us have dodged getting our tickets punched. Then, there are those who earn a spot on the candidacy list for a Darwin Award........LOL!
