Not Again!

   Alright, what gives? Last night, while I was driving out to run an errand (Studies show that in 70 percent of traffic accidents, at least one driver involved is less than 10 miles from home when the accident occurs. Thus, the places where people feel safest are the places where they are in fact at greatest risk of serious injury) locally, my vehicle was rear-ended. That makes twice in the last two months that I have been hit. Am I having to pay off some kind of karmic debt? During the accident scene work-time required by the police, I had time to speak to the other driver. I asked her if she had been preoccupied, worried about something and her mind not on her driving. "No," says she to me,"I just drove into you." That was the end of that conversation!
   Her car is an Acura, mine a Corolla. Both have good safety ratings, but even so, she was seeminlgy quite unscathed, while I have come out of the experience with whiplash. This happened even though I had my headrest up for maximum efficiency. The EMS attendant told me my headrest postion will have lessened the injury I would otherwise have sustained.
   The cars seem to have fared in the reverse to thier owners. Her car was accordioned in on the driver's corner and leaking fluid all over the road. Mine looks to be in better condition, but then, there was smoke coming from under the hood, before I got it into Park, and turned off. We'll have to see. I swear ... public transit is beginning to look better and better to me!
