For those who went to the Federation of Nova Scotia Naturalists annual meet=

My mirror saga continues.  I was approaching the ferry yesterday just past =
the LaHave Bakery when a dump truck with a back hoe came roaring along in a=
 50 km zone and was clocking around 100 km.  The back hoe hit my driver sid=
e mirror smashing almost every shred of glass in it.  Glass flew inside of =
the car covering the front=2C back and even into the trunk area.  The drive=
r of the truck kept going and had no idea at all that his back hoe hit me. =
 I was very lucky that it hit my mirror and not the car.  If it had hit the=
 car I would not have survived.  It makes one look long and hard at life an=
d how quickly one can be removed from it.  A truck with a back hoe on a Sun=
day travelling at such a fast speed is the last thing that I expected to me=
et.
