I am going to be a bit slow on a few things for a short while...

Purveyor of the Forgotten
Due to some black ice on the road yesterday as I was going to work, my car and myself tried to occupy the same Time / Space coordinates as an arboreal being and a side-of-the-road-mailbox....

Yeah....

Car is drivable, drivers side of the car looks like a mangled pop can, wiped out the mailbox, the tree is claiming whiplash and getting a lawyer....

I'm a bit sore and moving slow, but that is the worst of it....
Unless you count the seat cover that needs replaced.

Still had a to work a 12 hour shift afterwards then go home....

Oooooh, that sucks. But it could have been worse. I hit black ice once and hit a concrete barricade, so I know the feeling! Take it light and I hope you get better soon. :)
 
I did the car/tree/same space thing once. I never though to try the black-ice excuse though......

:)
 
Thanks! an you are correct, it could have been a lot worse.

Glad you're doing ok Chris. I haven't been through that but I have been in a couple accidents, but they were before I got my license. Still, hope you have a speedy recovery and I also hope you don't have any more situations like this.
 
Chugga chugga chugga WRECK!

Then awkward silence and the realisation which tree goes up the chimney next.
Glad you are okay, my friend!
:)
 
I'm glad you are okay, and can still walk. I couldn't walk for a month after my bus accident a while ago. It is torture.

Then again, try not being able to walk at all...

:cool: I sideswiped a maple on a railroad rights of way(abandoned). I was backing through a mud hole...

The State of Tennessee rehabilitated the roadbed with track and killed the maple for me.
