I had my first "at fault" wreck at noon. I was coming out of a parking lot onto the highway and a short-bed truck started turning right into the lane I was in. I honked and waved and he seemed to speed up..I started backing up slowly and the lady behind me wasn't aware of the dilemna and she said she pulled forward and we MET.....
Only broke her headlight so that was good. No one hurt and the man in the truck was pulling a 5th wheel trailer (which made him longer than a semi) pulled in and when we tried to talk to him, he rolled his window back up and would not get out. We both wanted to ask him why he kept turning and ignored the line of traffic.....He took the cowardly way out. We wouldn't have achieved anything by talking to him but we were both very upset with the way the wreck happened.
I gave her my insurance information and came home.
And the reason that I went to that store? To pick up a small frozen pizza (garlic crust/vegetarian) and they didn't have it in.....:-)
Today so far:
1. Lockdown at prison
2. Major headache
3. No veggie pizza (a huge treat because we had lockdown and I have a headache)
4. WreckI go back to prison at 2:00 p.m.
p.s. some of my favourite students are leaving us on Friday and I am very proud of them for making parole.....send good vibes to those men and women!!!
