[T3] Nearly wrecked Phillip today

[Parker-Durost <ginpete@xprt.net>]

<x-flowed>    This morning coming down a slight hill in my neighborhood.  I had 
the green light, and a pickup waiting at the light turned left across my 
path!  I was only going about 30 mph (the speed limit), but it was 
raining, and I locked up my brakes.  I saw him start to turn, and 
thought he'd see me, but he kept going, yikes, slam on the brakes, 
locked up, skidding into the intersection.  I must have been pumping my 
brakes, cause I got the front end to partially turn the corner, and the 
truck stopped mid turn, so I cleared his bumper and coasted to a stop. 
I was still stunned and shaking, the dude just drove off like nothing 
happened.  It was kind of a blur, but I remember hearing the engine 
revving as my foot must have been partially on the gas while braking.  I 
knew I wasn't going fast enough to hurt me, but I thought for sure 
Phillip was history.  Now that it's over, it was rather exciting...
