Today, on my birthday of all days, I got hit while driving (back)to work. I was coasting along, doing the speed limit, and a lady pulled out from a crossroad just soon enough to hit my back-right side and spin me about 150 degrees. Neither of us was hurt, and the immediately obvious damage to my vehicle was negligible. Her vehicle, on the other hand, is going to need a new bumper, front end, and a paint job. The nice police officer issued her a citation for “Failure to yield right of way”. It has been pointed out by two people already that “at least it was a memorable birthday”, and that it was.

Also, thanks to my awesome friends who made it out for my birthday dinner(you know who you are =]).
