In Rememberance...

The purpose of this blog was to help ‘remember’ events in life. So it is with reluctance that I type this one and post.
Today I ran into a mailbox. Fortunately, the mailbox post was made of steel, so it was unhurt. However, the little Corolla did suffer harm. Like a hood, bumper and grille. After market parts looks like it’ll be around $160 to get it repaired, plus paint. So it’s not huge, but it is a bother.
Here’s the story. I was pulling into our parking lot here at the office, and right before I started to turn, someone switched lanes, from the fast to the slow, and was quite close behind me. I was fearing a rear-end if I slowed down to much (roads were compacted snow, just above freezing, so they were wet.) With that in mind, I took the corner faster than I wanted to, but not realizing that it was too fast until I couldn’t turn as much as I wanted. It was one of those slo-motion experiences, hopefully never to be repeated.
Ok, there. It’s reported. Photos may come later, if I can bring myself up to it!
