So this afternoon, my mother, her friend and myself were driving out to Connecticut to visit my brother and while going down 95 south around South Attleborro in the slow lane, some asshole who was apparently doing about 90 and weaving in and out of lanes clipped the left corner of the car and sent us flying into a delightful spin which then became two absolutely supendous rolls that left us hanging from our seatbelts in a very upside-down orientation. Amazingly, two cuts across my mother's fingers from the window glass was the worst injury any of us sustained, but we still spent about two hours at the Rhode Island Hospital just the same, getting checked out and X-rayed and whatnot. And if you had seen this wreck, you would not have believed it; one of the first guys to pull over and help said he was terrified to approach the car because it looked so bad. But yeah, we're fine, my mom's car is wrecked and I'm sure the dick that hit us got his ass reamed by the very annoyed statie that responded. Just thought I'd share my near-death with you.

You and me both brother.

Nah, when we left in the ambulance, he was still on the other side of the highway talking to the cops, oh and I didn't mention that the guy that hit us went across all the southern lanes, plowed through the 8 or so inches of snow covering the median and then flew across the northern lanes before smacking into the guardrail on the northern side. The statie did say something to one of the firemen about how "that asshole has no idea the shit he's in" though.

No, that was just sorta what was going through my mind as we spun and I wanted an eye-grabbing title. I don't know if we're sueing him, for one they packed us up in the ambulance before we found out anything about the guy who hit us and the cops haven't called us to tell us anything further yet, plus no one was really hurt so we don't really have grounds to sue. My mom's feeling is that if her insurance gets her enough to get a new car and maybe cover hospital bills (for the X-rays they did mostly), then that's enough for her. I dunno.

Also, I meant the full title to be "JESUS IN A BIRCH-BARK CANOE! (Or, 'How I almost died today')", I just didn't notice I ran out of room.
