Why, you ask dear normalinauts, am I about to finish my first Stella at just after 9 AM this thursday morn? Shouldn’t I be at work?

Yes, I should.

But something happened while I was in transit to said place of employ.

That something was, for lack of a better term, a “collision” between my 98 Honda Civic and a tractor trailer.

I’ll just say that, other then a slightly sore back, I am unharmed. And I can appreciate how lucky I am, considering the two vehicles involved.

It is particularly annoying, though, that this happened today. I had a terrible day yesterday, then this.

On the plus side, I can do homework all day, and the Dodger game starts in 10 minutes, and there’s a Euro Cup match on in a couple of hours.
