He's sci-fi.He wrote the book "The Midwich Cuckoos" - - my favorite title of any book I've read. They made two movies of the same name from that book -- "Village of the Damned." But Midwich is the name of the small village in England - - and the name -- "The Midwich Cuckoos" is so catchy as a title for a creepy book.I like Ray Bradbury, too.I love all the "Invasion of the Body Snatchers" movies- - especially the original and the 1978 remake.And the "Alien" movies I really like. They almost approach horror.Those are what come to mind.(I'm not an avid reader of trilogies and series of books and that type of thing.) less

Yes, that is so much like what I experienced.

That all strikes me as sort of funny at the moment.:)
-
Interesting - - some of the similar experiences that go to slow motion.:)

Weird, I know. If I were a fainter, though, I'd have probably fainted, too, I'd think.(This happened in the late fall and I landed in a corn field -- and tall corn stalks surrounded me and the car. As I think of it now, it was sort of like when 'Dorothy's house in the movie "The Wizard of OZ" lands in Munchkinland. With a thud and Dorothy, still on her bed, makes that quiet "oomph" sound. That's how I imagine the car and me might have looked.):) less

I just didn't feel like going into the fact (to me) that Andrew Carnegie and Henry Clay Frick and other members of the club caused the disaster. Besides lowering the dam, I believe there was also an engineer that warned them at least once that the dam needed to be stabilized.As sad as the tragedy is, your comment made my day.;)I, indeed, mislabeled the disaster as "natural."That whole event has fascinated me my entire life for some reason. (Even at the young age of being in about ten when I saw the book by -- who? -- McCollough? was that his name? The one who wrote the most famous book on the event? At least, I think it's the most famous) I've traveled there numerous times and have read several books.P.S. I always wondered if it may have been partly due to a guilty conscience that Carnegie donated a library to Johnstown. less

Right at the end of the bridge, the road took a SHARP 90-degree turn to the left and all of this was on a hill -- I was going too fast -- the bridge limit was 15 mph and I was going 55 mph, thinking I was on a different part of this same road - - anyway, once I realized I was on the bridge, I knew I'd not make the turn and made the decision to drive straight out into the air off the road/hill. Like the picture. It was only about a 40-foot drop.

I've spent too much of my life internally anxious, a form of raging to my way of thinking. I'm journeying to more gentle thinking/feeling and anything gentle along these lines would be OK with me I think.Unless I was on a roller coaster when I died - - I'd be raging with delight!!:)
