I know that was slow, but are you Ok? How frightening! <3

[speedball]

Oh yeah, I'm fine, as is the person I hit. The impact was pretty soft, and I had plenty of time to prepare for it...

[fuzzy_queen]

Good to know. Take care of you!

new music is always fun news!

I'm glad it was a low speed impact. More glad that you're ok. =)

[speedball]

Thanks, me too.

Road up here get nasty when it's even just a slight dusting of snow! Glad you are OK, and sorry to hear that the car is more perforated than it should be.

Thanks. I'm hoping that EMX that everyone along 11th Avenue in Eugene is protesting actually gets built, because then I could take public transportation to work and get there in a reasonable amount of time...

[pasajera]

HECK YEAH! I love catching a ride home on EmX when I'm too tired to bike the rest of the way back...also very keen on seeing the West 11th extension come through.

Sorry about your car. I'm glad you're okay, though. =) Scary snow! Don't you have those fancy dancey studded tires?

[speedball]

It wasn't the tires, it was the brakes themselves, as far as I could tell. I didn't skid, it just wouldn't stop.

[silverlily81]

Uh oh. So was the snow part of the problem or was it just that you needed a break job?

[speedball]

Icy roads. I didn't realize how long anti-lock brakes take to slow you down when they fully activate.
