missed it by *that* much

Yesterday, leaving Mass, I turned right on to a major road - heading for the turning lanes at the stoplight.  I had looked both ways and everything was clear.  As I pulled into the middle of the road, an SUV flew out of nowhere cutting right in front of me.  He must have come from across the street - turning left onto the road, headed for the far right lane.  There was not time for my life to flash in front of my eyes or for me even to react.  I just took a deep breath, and knew once again that my guardian angel was on the job and that I am richly blessed.  Had I pulled out a second earlier, the results would not have been nearly as good.
