Thoughts on the Day

  • Boo met his teacher today after church.  She now knows that he is much more civilized than she might have been led to believe.
  • For the third time this week, Irish Woman and I were able to get caught up on both dishes and laundry.  Around here that’s some kind of record.
  • No matter how often I put them back in Boo’s room, his toys always seem to find a way back into the living room, including when he’s asleep.
  • Bad – Getting hit in the driver’s side door when someone crosses the double yellow line and you swerve to avoid a head on collision.
  • Worse – You’re driving your wife’s car.
  • Even worse – We’ve only had the car for 5 months.
  • Good – You had your seatbelt on and only the side impact airbags fired.
  • Bad idea – Yelling out “Oh Sxxx! I’ve got warrants!” and running away from the scene of an accident you caused when you suspect that the witness who was open carrying was a policeman.
  • Not so good idea – Before fleeing said accident scene, you grab all of the documentation from the glove compartment and console of your vehicle.
  • Bad idea – dropping your cell phone on the floor of your vehicle and not retrieving it when you were fleeing the scene of said accident.
  • A lot of people helped Irish Woman and me out tonight, and I’d like to take this opportunity to thank them.
  • Good automobile insurance is worth every penny.
  • I’m OK.  My shoulder is sore and bruised, I have a few cuts and scrapes, and I’ll probably feel pretty rough tomorrow morning.  But x-ray’s show no fractures to the neck and back, so I’ve got that going for me.
  • The ER nurse looked at me oddly when I declined a narcotic pain-killer and opted instead for ibuprofen.
  • The muscle relaxant they gave me is really kicking in, so I’ll bid y’all good night.

    Just glad to hear there are no permanent injuries! Hopefully you’ll be able to get some compensation from the other party, but I know it might be a long shot.

    Stay safe.

    I know you have an online family who are all very relieved that you are ok with minor bumps and bruises. Rest well tonight.

    There is nothing so exhilarating as to be shot at and missed.

    Glad you are ok

    Cars are just tin and glass and rubber and plastic.

    As long as you alll walk away it is good.

    I’m sure glad the effects of your accident aren’t anything like the effects of mine.
