The Jeep's demise



The Jeep was a tough car! It survived the collision with the tree (2002) pretty well. To be honest, I am pretty impressed with how well it survived the rear-ending at 65 mph, the meeting with the guardrail, and then the repeat hit. I guess when you are drunk, hitting a car once just won't do! Oh, to be 24, drunk and stupid. This young woman's crowning acheivement must have been vomitting all over herself as she sat behind the wheel in her car. Shame. I only wish she would have paid her car insurance premium. Drunk with no insurance, not the way to be driving.

A Total Accident

On November 14, I was driving back home after enjoying a great dinner with some old friends, when I was hit from behind by a drunk driver. Fortunately, my injuries were minor, although I did spend about 10 hours or so in the emergency room. After a number of X-rays, scans, sutures, a concussion and pain meds, they released me! It was my second head injury in about six months and that seems to make everyone pretty concerned. I weathered this storm pretty well. My poor family was concerned, my friends were worried and my co-workers couldn't believe my bad luck!
