Ran Into Reba--Almost

I think I've lived in Nashville too long. Why do I think this, you ask?

I nearly got broadsided today near Music Row (the music recording studios) by a stretch limousine that ran a red stoplight.

Ordinarily, I suspect one's first thought in a near-accident is something like, "Oh my gosh, that was a close one! I'm lucky I was able to swerve!" or even "What kind of moron runs a stoplight when it's clearly red?" Instead, the first thing that came to my mind was, "What if Reba McIntire is in that limo? What if I am in an accident that kills a country music star? Would people hate me forever for taking away their idol?"

Sheesh. You know you've been in Nashville too long when you're more concerned about being in an accident that injures a country music star than you are about your own safety.

Anna your perpective cracks me up . Being here in Atlanta I suppose I could be frightened of killing a Southern rapper but who's going to complain if one of the Ying Yang twins isn't around anymore?

I don't think I would cry.
