So the other day I was struck from behind by a large hairy man with an equally large gut driving a maroon Chrysler Sebring. I was driving the ministry’s Dodge Ram 2500, which had just been repaired from someone’s decision to put gasoline rather than diesel fuel in it. After visiting the Phillips 66 and putting $50 worth of diesel in, I was on my way to Lowes to get some stuff for a project. As I was sitting behind a few cars at a red light, I was suddenly thrown forward from the force of another vehicle hitting me from behind. Got out of the truck, walked behind it and saw the back bumper was slightly pushed down. The front of his car, on the other hand, was another story.
The conversation:
Guy: I have to get to an MRI at 2:00 and I am running late. Follow me over there, ok?
Me: (Staring at bumper) Well, I have to call this in, it’s pretty bad.
Guy: Don’t worry about my car, it was already smashed.
Me: (Holding the phone) Ummm
Guy: Listen, I’ll give you 50 bucks, that ought to take care of it.
Me: (Laughing) I don’t think that will cover the cost of fixing this! I’m calling now, hang on…
Guy: (Runs to car and gets in)
911: 911 What is your emergency?
Me: I was just in an accident. Oh wait, the guy is leaving!
911: Can you follow him?
Me: (Driving crazily down McKinley) Oh I am!
911: Can you see his license plate?
Me: No, he’s too far ahead and weaving in and out of traffic.
Anyway… I lost the guy. The truck was just not nimble enough to get through the traffic that day. So maybe the guy really was on his way to get an MRI on his brain and was just not thinking straight, or maybe he had no insurance. But in any event, his car is pretty messed up. The worst part of it is that there is nothing that the police can do, or will do. That’s what the officer said. Well, I for one, will have my eye out for that guy.
Oh heavens….I hate that. Well, I guess all we can do is pray blessings over Him. Hope you are okay! See you soon!

What goes around, glad you were not hurt in the fender bender accident. Can’t believe people. Always good to get the license plate number right away just in case sounds horrible but that is what the world is coming to. Are you coming home for Christmas?

next time you see him t-bone him , then say hey can you follow me over to starbucks but lead him to the police station . don’t you wish you could have a laser on the dash to take out these crazy drivers. at least no body got hurt and you weren’t driving wonderbox#21.

He was probably getting an MRI for another accident he was in. Small town? If not then there cannot be too many MRI places. Do some snoop work!
