I'm 59 and a 2x cancer survivor myself and it just makes me so angry that such talent and joy for life gets taken. It is the way of the world.

I had never seen that video and it made me laugh out loud about the idea of being passed by a van. That sort of thing has happened to me twice, and each time, I did laugh out loud.

The first time I was driving a Prius over, and then down the Tehachapi grade in the middle of the night. I was maintaining 90-95 mph. I got passed by a U-Haul van. Hahahahaha. I love it.

And then I was on the two lane road from Tecate to Ensenada. Standard mountain driving. Don't remember the speed exactly but I was definitely going double the speed limit, driving a Tundra. I got passed on a blind curve by a full size Mexican passenger bus. Once it was over I laughed. Can you imagine the people in those front seats?

So boy that video brought back the memories.
