Hey thanks Clint
Things are a-ok here. Mostly - still gotta find a new vehicle! ;)

Luckily I just got the crap knocked outta me, and got away with only internal bruising in my chest wall - it was a low-speed accident at 30mph, but it still hit pretty hard. Still hurts like hell, but I'm very lucky.

I hit another vehicle on the way home from work that was stopped in the road to turn, had almost no brake lights and the truck was dark, very small, and so dull of a finish it didn't even reflect in my headlights. Had about 30 feet to stop by the time I saw him, and just didn't make it. I was able to swerve and just clip him, but it still totaled both of our trucks, mostly my front end and the frame.

Now the funny part...since I was charged/at fault, I gotta take that driving class. The DMV Safety Officer who is teaching that class...my wife, of course.

God does indeed have a sense of humor. ;)
