Car Accident

Well, it happened. I was in a car accident today (sans Ben). I failed to yield totally before merging into traffic and the 87 year old man who was waiting his turn ahead of me hadn't gone like I had imagined he had. So I cruised into the back of him at a "merging into traffic" rate of speed. YIKES. The Hummer picked up his sweet little gold car and chewed on it for a while and then spit it back out.

*Sidebar: - Brittney, you had "The Beast" that ate gold Saturn's...I have the "Chrysler Cruncher"

Anywho - The man was so kind and so understanding that it was an accident and that I wasn't jacking around. He said he was fine, although given the fact that however "Driveable" his car may have been, he has no trunk and I popped off the rear view mirror INSIDE the car. To say he will be sore is an understatement.

My ticket was for "Failure to Control Speed" and the sweet little officer patted me on the back and was like, "Now, that's not a speeding ticket..." I think I would prefer a speeding ticket. We'll see when I find out what my fine is.

Special prayer request for the sweet little man I hit. I am not going to put his name in Blog World, so let's just call him Mr. D.R.
