Texting and driving

It’s May 1st! This should be the start of Spring up here and we’re hoping so. Yesterday was nice with the sun warming up the mountains while the wind reminded us of just where we live.

Harley, Mojo and I had a fun filled busy day, or at least they did. I spent most of the day babysitting them. Finally at 3:20 I went to pick up Jag and then we were off to get Ty. About 2 blocks from Ty’s school a school bus was backing into a parking lot and stopped traffic. As I stopped I looked in my rear view mirror and saw a Jeep Cherokee not slowing down. I honked my horn and the little girl looked up but still smacked into the back of our car going between 20 and 30 miles an hour if I had to guess. Of course the girl was texting. We exchanged info and headed to school to pick up Ty. As soon as I arrived home I called our insurance company. The girl, 16 years old, texted me that she knew it was her fault (admitting guilt) but that she wasn’t on the best terms with her parents and could we handle this without them. Of course I had already called the insurance company. I also then called her insurance company and explained the situation and they knew her dad as the car was insured under a company policy of her dad’s company. I’m sure she had an uncomfortable night but no way you can not document this. Jag and I both have headaches and will get x-rays today sometime in the afternoon. The car will need a few thousand dollars worth of work too. My neck is still stiff this morning and I still have a bit of a headache, what fun. So, don’t text and drive!

I’m off to the distributor this morning and a derm appointment with Libby. I need to be down there by 8:30 and should be back before noon. That means Harley will be in her crate for 3 or 4 hours. I need to shower and get moving and then get the pup up for breakfast. Have a great day, GB.
