Less than 24 hours into my trip

It seemed a little fast, but I had never driven with him before.
I was already holding the handle when the wheels started to slip and I closed my eyes.

Crash. Crash. Crash.
I remember 3 hits, though later evidence showed more.

"You were lucky" said the tow truck driver who'd had 5 DUIs.
But nobody was hurt, and nobody went to jail.

Yikes, Des. Glad you are ok.

Holy shit. April fools? Gawd, I hope you're okay. That must have been terrifying...

Thanks guys. It certainly reinforced my fear / hatred of going places via car. (but at least I wasn't driving!)

Des you're alive! Glad you're ok. You're back?

Oh great...I have to take a road trip in a couple weeks.

When I called my boyfriend from safely behind a cement guard (yes, in tears - it was scary!) he said "Well you are in California!"

Hopefully you do not have this experience because you won't be in CA (right?).

Damn, I glad that you are OK. Welcome back to NYC! I hope to see you soon, assuming I ever make it back...

Well lucky for us, we won't have to do any driving to see each other. Even if I have to fly to Chi-town, because you're already in the airport. :)

Wow.

Glad you are ok, Des!
