No Etch a Sketch Moments

We have all heard about and most have experienced life-changing moments.  Birth, death, divorce, job loss and accidents come immediately to mind.  In the blink of an eye our lives are forever changed.

Day changing moments can also happen in the blink of an eye.  On the way to lunch today, a hurrying hotel guest tried to make a left turn across three lanes of traffic on Westheimer at the Loop (one of Houston's busiest areas).  Though he got eye contact permission from two of the westbound drivers, he failed to account for the farthest lane and hit the rear passenger panel of this unsuspecting driver.  Thankfully there were no injuries.   However, this momentary lapse in awareness caused hours of unanticipated delays and follow-up activities. 

There are no Etch a Sketch moments in real life. Once we start drawing, we have to finish the picture we start.  Do overs aren't part of the equation.
