Just an Accident

Well, Sunday night was exciting! I was driving to the airport to pick up my friend and got into a car accident. First off, no one was hurt so you can all breathe easy. I was driving south on Highway 183 in the left lane when another car decided it wanted to occupy the same space my car was. It started coming into my lane. I swerved to avoid it and started to spin. If you have ever seen the movie "Cars", then you know what I'm talking about (except Lightning McQueen actually regained control). I hit the guard rail with my front end. The other driver was nice enough to stop and see if I was Ok. Amazingly enough, my car was not too badly damaged. The front bumper absorbed most of the impact. In fact my air bag didn't even go off! After bungee cording the hood closed, I made my way home. The car still had perfect alignment and ran just as quite and comfortable as always. Pictures? Of course (Diane, if you are reading this, please don't look what I did to your car).

It could have been a lot worse, so I am grateful for that. The car will soon be repaired and better than before (I never could get those bugs off my bumper and hood). I was no worse for the experience, and I have a rental car to play with for a few days!

Hey Bob, that's what happens when you're trying to update your blog using your cell phone while you're driving! :) Seriously though, glad it wasn't worse that it was. Hope all is well. Ron Harless say "hi".
