Eh.  I was younger and spryer back then.

 Speaking of crashing, on Wednesday I enjoyed a hit-and-run
rear-ending on the freeway.  We were all slowing down because
of some earlier accident and the guy behind me didn't get the
memo.  I got him good, though.  He left his front bumper cover
and part of the grille under the back of my car.  Pity we don't
have front license plates here.  He pulled over (not close enough
for me to read his license plate), but when I didn't get right
out of my car he drove off.  If we had a proper surveillance state,
we could find him on a nearby camera.
 

Did you report it to the police?  There may be cameras you couldn't see.   Wanna bet he didn't have insurance?

I've had the car less than three weeks.  *sigh*  This Wednesday
I have an appointment at the body shop just to get the estimate.
It'll be more time while they round up the major parts they'll
need: perhaps an entire new hatch door, bumper parts, exhaust, etc.
I don't know if they'll fix the trailer hitch that my husband
just busted his ass to install.

I'm so sorry to hear that.

I'm fine.  It just felt like a strong guy pushed me in the small
of my back, since I had the lumbar support cranked up to 11.
 

Thank goodness you weren't hurt!  At least he didn't hit hard enough to shove your car forward into the one in front of you.

Ob food:  Since the hatch won't open, I'm putting my groceries
on the back seat.  Not very convenient, but adequate.  (I suppose
if I want to get potting soil for my many patio plants, I'll rent
the truck at Home Depot.)
 

It's still an inconvenience.  I'm sorry you have to deal with it.
