OUCH!



The pictures say it all. Thursday morning on the way home from kindergarten pickup after waiting for a Frontrunner train, a 16 year old young man decided that I was not starting fast enough. It sounded like an explosion with the crunching and the glass breaking. Since he was in a large Ford 350 truck, jacked up, the tailgate took all the force. Fortunately, only my van is really hurt, not me or Jaredd or his friend Hunter. So I am grateful for booster seats, driving a larger vehicle, and that I am an experienced enough driver not to start going right after the garbage truck in front of me started or I would have ran into it. I don't know yet how his insurance is going to play this out yet, but a van is only a van and money is only money, so I am truly grateful today.

P.S. Windy, I know you tagged me, but it will have to wait until June. It is recital month!!!

It looks even worse when the photos are bigger on here. Hope that everything gets resolved soon!

Ouch is right. I'm glad all people involved are uninjured.

I'm glad you got the package today. It's your birthday present (Happy Birthday!). I took it with us to UT this weekend to give to you in person. We were more than half way home when I discovered them.
