A Rose by any other name…
Last night, while on our way to fill the tank before heading off to work; for just an instant I was distracted by something off to my left. When I turned to face the road; a stopped car and ahead of it a red light were waiting for me. I immediately slammed on the breaks but still managed to run right into the back of the Infinity. My bag, book and note pad fell onto the passenger side floor while my travel mug landed next to my feet gushing out some of its contents onto the floor mat. "Shit! Fuck! Goddamn it!" I exclaimed in a single vulgar string. My first real accident. The chauffer and her two passengers exit the Infinity. After taking a second to compose myself, I did the same. The woman didn’t give her name, but she was very nice. We exchanged pleasantries while one of her daughters called the police. I fished out my information, which I keep in a specific place for such an occasion, and called Isabel to let her know what had happened and that I was alright. She insisted on coming up to see the catastrophe her son had caused. After an hour and a half and three City of Doral officers (apparently they defer this sort of responsibility to the lower officers) I was back on the road, alive, well and, hopefully, wiser... and richer by one ticket too. ::sulks:: And here I thought I was done with tickets for the year... Poor Rose, however, was not quite so lucky. Apart from the cosmetic damage, the AC isn’t cooling the cabin at all. Hopefully that’s the worst of the damage. It’s off to the vet with her this afternoon... Way to throw a wrench into my weekend plans, Fate... Jerk.
