well, hi i am a rat (born in 72), now only 5 days into yet another year of rat, today is one of the most accident prone days for as many years as i can recall.

1. backing out of my friend's driveway, missed a passing ute by that much, it wasn't funny.

2. then on my way back, the power cable, as thick as my arm, broke and slammed on to the road i travelled on, right across, so no car could pass, i was among probably the first dozen that got caught and had to do a U turn to find an alternative route.

3. while doing the U turn, i almost hit the rubbish bin on the road side if not for the driver behind me shouted for my attention. well the last time i actually hit the bin was when i just got my license, 11 years ago!

4. got home, making salad for tea, i thought i would grate a carrot for my son, something i probably only did less than half dozen time in my whole life, and you guessed it, i grated my knuckle

with so many accidents happened in one day, i dont think this is just coincident, what do you think? what should i do to avoid this sort of thing happening again?
