1. No, I wasn't being a loon

3. Yes, I know that makes people complacent
4. 15 minutes
5. Really; only 15 minutes after I signed for it
6. I'm fine thanks very much
7. Yes, I swore a lot; there's now a cloud of profanity locally which will be on tomorrow's weather forecast

Been thru the same experience in an old banger...heavy rain and traffic three lane road...everyone being careful...gentle sweeper...I start correcting right and left tank slappers...slide gently into culvert facing the wrong way ....facing the rear wheel-less taxi that dumped its diff oil...some days are diamonds! Some days are stone!
