Two 18-Wheelers/One 4-Wheeler & 2 woman alone at the bus station The cab of a double tractor-trailer sits in the middle of the northbound lanes of Interstate 77, near the Harper Road exit, after it was knocked off the truck during a three-vehicle crash late Wednesday. Engine parts, various debris and gasoline covered the roadway, shutting the road down for several hours. Last Year, I was returning home via Greyhound for Charlotte, North Carolina. I got off the bus at 11:30 p.m. and ex-hubby was not there to pick me up. He thought he was suppose to pick me up at 11:30 a.m. the next morning. He ended up picking me up at the Sheriff Office. I had been robbed and very grateful that I wore my steel-toed hiking boots and jeans. Fight and Flight - mostly flight. The Thief got my leopard print bra and pink nightie. He didn't get my $$$$ because I carried it in my boobs and my ID was in my back pocket. A $600. hearing aid was knocked off in the struggle to get away from him. He was eventually apprehended on an unrelated probation violation and sent back to jail which is a good place for him. Meanwhile, Last week, I took a bus to Georgia. I deliberately scheduled so that I would not be at the bus stop at night. Circumstances changed and I had to change the schedule. There was a transfer from Charlotte, North Carolina to Beckley - West Virginia arrival at 11:30 PM. Same Route - Is History Repeating itself. Oh Joy! I made sure ex-hubby knew that pick-up time was 11:30 pm. Pleeeeeeze be there - I pleaded. As the bus was headed toward Beckley, I could feel the blood draining out of my face. I had difficulty breathing and felt like I was going to faint. As we got to the Harper Road Exit. There was a major league traffic jam. A Trucker told the Bus Driver they had been stuck for six hours because of a wreck. The bus driver took an alternative route and we made it to the stop in time. Another woman and I got off the bus but our rides were not there. They were stuck in that mess. Happy Happy Joy Joy! She was glad that I was there and visa versa. I called 911 and advised them of the situation - telling them that we were not happy with the unsavory characters that hung around that bus station. They sent a cop to check on us. Two hours later - My ex-hubby arrived - We waited until the other woman's transportation showed up. God must have been smiling upon West Virginia that night. None of the people in the accident were seriously hurt. Two Truckers and two women in a 4 wheeler. Had I not changed my schedule, that woman would have been alone at the station. Still..................Next time I go to Georgia - I am taking a plane and hope it stays away from the Pentagon   Abracadabra  |
