Subj : My Sad Story

My wife, my son and I were on our way to a restaurant to celebrate a combination  
Valentine's Day /  51st wedding anniversary when we got rear-ended in traffic.  Both his 
vehicle and ours had to be towed, but no one was injured.

I mention this because I just got the car back from a Ford dealer earlier today for a 
transmission repair.  Our plan was to drive the motorhome with the vehicle in tow to Fort 
Lauderdale for an annual Police and Fire meeting on Sunday and a Police Retiree 
luncheon on Monday.

Those plans are obviously cancelled.  Now starts the process of getting a rental car and 
doing everything necessary to get the car repaired.

We went from glad to sad in a heartbeat.  I wish I could have captured a picture of my 
face when I looked into my rear view mirror and saw a pickup truck speeding towards 
me, too fast to stop in time.
