“To hope till Hope creates from its own wreck the thing it contemplates.” Percy Bysshe Shelley

So what did you do yesterday?

Me? I got into a four car pileup. Not the first one….or the third one….or the fourth one. Yes, the second one.

I was “leader of the pack” as it were – the girl behind me stopped in time, the guy behind her stopped in time, but the lady behind him…..didn’t.

She rammed his truck so hard that his trailer hitch got wedged into her bumper. He had to drag her car off the road. It was pretty crazy.

The upshot was that his truck hit the girl’s car, who nailed my bumper. My neck was a little sore last night, but it’s fine today. My daughter was fine, so all in all we were pretty lucky.

I’m sure you can’t see the largish puncture holes/gashes in the bumper, but I’m not especially concerned. You get the idea. I’m taking it to the body shop to get checked out tomorrow.  All the insurance agents are ganging up on Geico – who is the insurance company that represents the last lady that hit the truck.

There were two more four car pileups while we were pulled over. My daughter saw one of them. She was pretty surprised. “I saw a car bounce off another car and then run right back into it!”
