Ignore the Bug on Your Dashboard

Saturday we went to see the new movie Star Trek. Great movie for anyone who was even a slight fan of the old Star Trek. And it will probably win over a whole new generation of fans too. We loved it.

But on the way home, we were slowing for a red light in front of us and - crunch - our car was rear-ended. The gal driving the minivan that hit us said she was distracted by a bug on her dashboard. She was trying to kill it and hit us instead. It would be funny if it wasn't so annoying.

Luckily no one was seriously injured and the damage to the Saturn is pretty minor. A bit of a dent and a few scratches in the bumper. The estimator came out to the RV park today and looked at it. "Only" $1500. Amazing how fast it adds up because to look at it, it doesn't look too bad.

Repairs will have to wait though since we won't be anywhere for more than 5 or 6 days at a time for the rest of the summer. Thank God the damage is small enough that we CAN wait.
