THE TANK

It's a good thing that I drive a Geo Prism (AKA THE TANK). I got hit in my car AGAIN last night. This is the third time in the last two months that someone has hit me...once at a stop light, once in the Target parking lot, and once while I was driving and the lady didn't bother to check her blind spot before changing lanes. In two cases, the ladies who hit me took off before I could even get out to assess the damage. In the other case, the lady said that she DIDN'T hit me. Ummm....WHAT? The good news is that not once has there been any kind of damage to my car. Not even a scratch. That is because it is THE TANK.

The thing about all of this that makes me really angry is the fact that apparently there is no integrity left in the world. If I hit someone, no matter when, where, or how, I would at least stop to make sure that everything was ok, even if I didn't damage their vehicle. I would never THINK about putting the pedal to the metal and taking off...nor would I say that I hadn't hit them if I really had.

The other thing that makes me angry is that even though there was no damage to my car last night, the lady hit me just hard enough to give me a touch of whiplash. My neck and down in between my shoulders are mighty sore this morning...not enough to really think that it needs medical treatment, but enough to wish that I was at home to rest my weary head...and to eat the strawberries that are in the refrigerator.

How about strawberries with cream? Now THAT sounds tasty!

Oh, I've got some cream. I don't buy strawberries without it. And, perhaps I could have some delicious pancakes with the strawberries and WHIPPED cream on top of them. DELICIOUS.
