As I hope you would suppose, I was a good kid. I was confirmed into the church. I went to Sunday School every week and Bible School every summer. I was in Indian Guides. Cub Scouts. Webelos. Boy Scout. I was an Eagle Scout at 13 and consistently made good grades in school. All of this was tacitly expected of me, as was the fact that I attended, and paid for, a higher education.
A week ago, a woman in my neighborhood drove full-speed into the side of my car, as shown below a few minutes after it happened. This weekend, I’m picking up a brand new, identical car from the Tesla factory. How could this be? Isn’t a cataclysm like this supposed to be more awful and drawn-out? I’ve been thinking about that.
A woman crashed into me at full speed on Friday at 12:12 in the afternoon just two blocks from my home. She lives in this neighborhood and seems like a perfectly nice person. Married. Three grown children. Nice house. Nice car. But…………perhaps distracted at the wrong moment. I’m not sure yet, although when I get my car back, I’m eager to see if one of its cameras recorded the incident. This is what the interior of my car looked like shortly after I was t-boned.
This was very touching; please enjoy!
