Lots of accidents

[Dogmama]

Is it just my planets out of alignment, or are other people experiencing weird stuff - like accidents, things breaking or not working right and just off-kilter feelings?

Today I was zipping downhill with a tailwind & I was cooking. An old man in a Lexus started to hang a left in front of me. I put on my brakes, not realizing I was in a sandy spot of road, and my back tire fish-tailed to the right (never a good thing when you can see your rear tire without turning your head.) My first thought: This is going to be one horrible road rash. The old guy slammed on his brakes, I let off on mine, straightened out & kept going. (I have the BEST tires - Continental 4-seasons). My knees were still knocking at a stoplight 5 miles away.

Before my ride, my new CO2 cartridge broke the first time I used it, my rear tire managed to have a slow leak (and I never found the culprit) so I was an hour late for my ride. Ended up riding in Sunday after church traffic - all the little Q-Tip heads bobbing behind their steering wheels (the snow birds have hit Tucson.)

I've seen car wrecks, had my vacuum break (is that a bad thing? I haven't decided) and heard of lots of mishaps. Is some weird planet in retrograde?
