I hate it when my gut feeling is right...
Sniffa was late getting home from work, later than normal, and I got worried that something has happened. He finally got home, and apparently he was in a one car accident due to sun blinding. He's fine, our car might be a bit screwy now...But damnit, I hate it when those bad feelings are correct!! Same thing happened when I was 10 and my BIL was late getting to a family function with my baby nephew...I told my family that there had been an accident, and they told me I was crazy. I was correct. x(

But, Sniffa is fine, and that's all that matters. :)

5. Exactly right
:hug:

Basically the front left tire blew out and the dinky spare is on. He says the steering feels funky, but that could just be the atrocious spare tire. We shall see. :)

28. dude
I was just following a van in front of me, and when he merged onto the Columbia Rd. rotary, the sun that was being blocked by him hit me full force. after a second or two of blind driving, I saw I was heading right at the median. I jerked the wheel at the last minute but couldn't avoid the curb - and it explodeded my left front wheel. :(

and because it was at that rotary of all places, during rush hour, I decided not to be a douchebag and just stop my car there; I continued around the rotary and a little ways to get off the road.

31. Holy shnitzky
You're lucky you didn't get hit by someone already in the rotary.

Glad you're okay. Hopefully, the car won't be too costly to fix.

35. He needs to work on his driving skills before he totes around LK's future spouse then.
That's it, put us down for a car seat on the registry. I don't want sniffa brainscrambling the poor kid.

Nothing a nice, soothing (strong) drink and a yummy dinner won't make all better. :hi:
