adventures with jack



*** first a disclaimer:  everyone is okay.  besides a few burns from the seatbelt and airbag, we are fine.  ***

now.  we decided to start off our summer vacation with a bang.  literally.  i had just been to breakfast with my friend leona (holla!) and was on my way to see matt at the waldenbooks when a woman decided to turn and go the wrong way down a one way street...  immediately in front of my car.  everyone always says that it's like slow motion, and they are right.  i remember seeing this car appear in front of me and i yelled "oh my god!" and just hit the brakes, but there wasn't much i could've done.  next thing i know, i'm in the middle of the intersection, both airbags have deployed and the car smells something awful.  to make a long story short (too late right?) the police showed up with an ambulance and checked me out.  the lady was driving an elderly woman who had to be transported to the hospital by ambulance.  suzy came and got me, we went to pomerado to get jack checked out and they monitored his heart for about an hour (he's cool.)

so the car is totalled.  we spent an hour today waiting to get into the tow yard to clean all of my school stuff out of the car before the insurance company took the car to assess damages.  and we're getting a rental car later...  such a pain to get all of this stuff done but thank god we are fine.  here's a couple pictures i took at the tow yard.  the first is a view from the back seat (we couldn't open the front doors) and the second is an outside shot of the car.  drive safe everyone.
