Yea, though I swim through the shadow of the Valley of Death I won’t spill a drop of my mocha
Not all that surprisingly, the following story took place near Fruitvale…
You know how big companies like Coca Cola, General Motors and Starbucks spend millions and millions of dollars on advertising campaigns. Still, sometimes, you only need someone with a handheld camera who happens to be at the right place, at the right time, to shoot the perfect ad.
By the way, if you’d want to inspire people and give them an example of absolute and determined dedication, you could do worse than tell them about a 22-year-old driver from Oakland, California.
No greater love has any woman for her caffeine fix…
OAKLAND, Calif. — A woman swam to safety early Thursday after her car careened off a roadway and splashed into the Oakland-Alameda Estuary, floating to rest underneath a home built on stilts above the waterway.
Authorities said the car went into the water a little after 6:00 a.m. after its driver lost control when she reached for her cell phone near the intersection of Alameda Avenue and Fruitvale.
The 22-year-old female driver, on her way to work at a nearby Brinks office, was able to knock out a window, climb out of the floating vehicle and swim to safety. Onlookers said she came ashore still cradling her coffee cup.
