Would you want the kind of people who use Twitter to have flying cars?

Wellnow. I had two places to go this morning, but it took me 20 minutes to get the ice and snow off the locks, windows, and doors before I could even get in the truck. Ice and snow were frozen onto the Frost Guard.

The first stop wasn’t so bad, I got to it mostly on side streets, but the second place proved a little problematic. I went to pull into a driveway from the median, and it was the wrong drive way, so I stayed in the median and inched forward a few feet before I decided to merge out into traffic.

Of course I had the blinker on. And WHOMP! A utility truck with a utility trailer on it was whizzing past me, and I realized he’d hit me. I saw two pieces of the bumper in the median. I put the flashers on, got out, retrieved the pieces and put them in the back of the Tracker, then headed on to make the U-turn to go into Great Clips to get my hair cut.

I made the U-turn and found another piece of the bumper in the middle of the road, and put the flashers on again while I dragged it (metal, this time, not composite) off the road and onto the grass.

I checked in at Great Clips, then called a friend from church and he came within five minutes, picked up the rest of the bumper and put it in the truck for me. Then he called the police.

Long story short, my hair was cut and the police came and took a report while I was in the chair. The consensus was that the utility trailer is what hit the Tracker, and the driver of the truck, (probably a big 3500+ series,) most likely didn’t even know my vehicle had been hit because the light was green and he just kept on going.

He may or may not call the police at a later date, but I was only shaken up, and wasn’t even cited, so I’ll survive to play another day.

So that’s my story and I’m stickin’ to it. The streets were icy and he was driving far too fast. But! I’ve lived to tell the tale.

You have a point.

Plus, if we had flying cars, then where would we put the little crosses when someone drinks and drives.
