So I'm driving down 8th st or ave. , I'm not sure which one. I'm at the point where it crosses 14th St. so I have a green light so I keep going and all of the sudden from left side, where cars were parked, a bum jumps out and I hit him. He rolls off the side of my car taking my side-view mirror with him. Don't worry the bum survived, I don't believe he was to terribly hurt. It was 100% not my fault, and the witnesses and cops all stated so. I suspect that this was one of those scams that bums do to make money, because one of the witnesses, the lady's car who the bum was resting his arm upon before he decided to leap out, was scared and didn't know what he was going to do, sounds like a premeditated jump. The thing I don't understand is how someone could become so damn desperate that they would take a chance on their life. Maybe I'm wrong though, maybe it was just a bum choosing to jump across the street , where there isn't a cross walk, at a bad time. I guess I'm just thankful that it didn't turn out worse then it was.

Other than that my day went decently , I finally did make it to Firehouse Subs after the incident and visited with Lindsay for a bit, even though her break had passed.
