Close call......

Tim was in a fender bender yesterday evening. Thank God, no one was injured. He was on his way to pick me up from work. I was waiting outside when Dylan calls me and says, "Mom, I was talking to Dad and he said, 'Oh Shit' and the phone went dead." I told Dylan I would try to contact his dad and hung up the phone. I stood there a couple seconds trying to collect my thoughts and try to decide what to do. At this point I didn't know if he was injured or not. In the short time I stood there Dylan calls me back to say, "Dad was OK". He called his Dad back because he couldn't stand the unknown.

Someone had backed out of an automotive mechanics shop, blocking both lanes, just over the crest of a hill waiting for another vechicle to back out. He didn't take into consideration that traffic would still be coming. Idiot! Tim had another vehicle beside him and a school bus behind him. His only route was to take the sidewalk and into the parking lot of the mechanics shop. By this time the idiot decided to pull back into the parking lot and they hit front end. Thank goodness the auto shop had a camera facing the street and it caught it all on video tape. They played it back for the police officer and the idiot got the ticket. He will need someone to read it to him as he "no obla Englais" Fortunately, he is insured and all will be ok in that respect.

We drove the car home. Has a dent in the hood and front fender. Broke the headlight cover but we still had headlights. Dylan was most disappointed because he like the stereo system in the car, not to mention it has speed.

Minor start to the holiday.

The Wines Family wishes all of you a safe and happy Thanksgiving!
