The Car INCIDENT

Okay, something major happened...I almost got in my first car accident yesterday! AHHHHHHHHHHHHHH! You know how I was being all mischievous about taking the suburban for a spin yesterday??? Well, I was driving along with Kristen and Casey, and as we were driving we came upon a hill. A hill where you have to stop at the bottom. So, since it was icy and being the good little driver that I am, I began to brake lightly well in advance of reaching the bottom. Ahead of us was a little dinker car, and as we were going down the hill, I became alarmed at our rate of descent. We got, closer, and closer to the car ahead of us, so I started to push hard on the brake. To my horror, a terrible sound came from the brakes and we hardly slowed down at all. It all seemed to happen in slow motion. I was pushing on the brake with all of my might, and although we were only going at a slow crawl, we were getting very near to the back of the other car. At that point I knew that we were going to hit. I am sure that all of our eyes were as round as King Arthur's table. To my astonishment, we stopped, mere centimeters from the back of the car, *hallelujah chorus*. Oh my goodness I was relieved! There was some girls sitting in the back of the little car, and they both glanced back at us just as we were about to stop. One continued to stare while the other looked away for a second but then did a double take, her eyes huge. They continued to stare/glare at us until they drove away. Can't say that I blame them. It wouldn't be a good feeling seeing an enormous suburban large enough to run your little car over right on your tail.

My poor lovely (aka, my cat Noca)! She has green goobies coming out of her right eye and it is seeping badly. Poor baby! We figure she got scratched by one of her fellow kitties *cough, Mocha, cough* and it got infected. Hopefully she will survive this ordeal. She's too young to go!

Oh, in case you would like to know, my brother Casey and his friend found an eagle skull on the beach in front of our house today. Just a little F.Y.I. This information could come in handy someday, just like algebra will.

Okey dokey...I don't believe that I have anything else to say at this point in time. BYE. that is a weird word...bye...bye, bye, bye, bye, bye....now it seems really strange. Okay, I really am going now.

  1. Woah, I'm sure glad those people saw you. Was the girl going really slow or were you just unable to stop? So do you have to go get the brakes fixed or was that just a freaky accident? I hope it all works out. And bye is a weird word.

  3. I believe that those horrible noises are there for your protection. You are supposed to modulate your break petal but oh well. lol. I leaned about that too from watching dad.
