Was supposed to be camping
It is amazing how fast things can change. Supposed to be around a campfire right now staring up at the stars. Unfortunately, that has changed due to a serious car accident on Thursday night. Someone felt that the rules of the road don't apply to them and as they made their own lane they t boned me as I made a left turn. My daily driver is now a total loss but one thing I can say about Honda product- I walked away from it. Luckily I only received some chest bruising and a small abrasion on my arm. Sorry Nigel- she's not around for you to drive anymore!

Just remember to hug your loved one as you/they leave the house everyday. You never know when you might be receiving that call. FYI- I neglected to tell my wife I was ok on that phone call. She pulls up to fire trucks and me on a gurney! Got beaten for that latter.

RIP Megan

So glad you're okay. The bad news is you missed camping. The blessed news is that there's plenty more of that to come. Chill, relax, recover.

the best news is you are ok. the good news is honda just made half a bazillion accords for you to choose from. and yes, you probaably deserved the whoopin for not calling your wife. were the chest bruises and small abrasion to your arm from the accident or not calling your wife
