yooorana h'tchuru maitai roa ??  WEEK 44: We got shrimp curry for a meal this week and as I'm eating the shrimp I'm thinking "hmm. This is bad shrimp. Kinda tough... still gonna eat it though."

Once I'm stopped on the side I look behind me, look ahead, and I waited a moment, like half a second, before going. I don't know why I did that, but I waited, and once I went there was a car that came by. The car tried to swerve out of my way but I clipped the front; their car swiveled out of control and off the side of the road, where it flipped twice before landing top-down.  Even though everyone came out of this situation unharmed (spoilers), the image of seein...
