Good news and bad news


First ... the good news is that I am OKAY.

The bad news is that my lovely 8 week old new (to me) car is likely totalled. I was in a car accident last night ... in Hamilton not on the highway.


So ... reports filed, insurance contacted, car rental made,trying to contact witnesses and wait for adjuster to find out.The collision place said it's on the verge of a right off ... so we'llsee. And the insurance company said ANY fault on my part = 30% increase!BUT ... I'm OKAY ... that's the main thing.


Long and short ... I was pulling out of the parking lot to get into the parking lot across the street ... a car was stopped to get into the parking lot I was in ... she stopped ... I looked no one coming ... I went and a large Dakota truck smashed into me at high speed causing my car to spin. No airbag deployment ... apparently because of the spin. I was shocked ... cried (somewhat hysterically) ... one person said she thought he ran the light ... he’s 22 ...


Thank heaven for small (or isthis one large?) mercies.
