Well, today has no place to go from here, but up ...
... due the fact that I spun out across 3 lanes of interstate traffic this morning on the way into work! I made contact with the dividing wall between the highway I was driving on, and the adjacent retain wall for the exit ramp to the bypass.

Damage so far? I need two new rims (but tires are OK...), and I seriously scuffed up my bumper, and it will eventually need replaced. So far, the tally is only up to $550 or so.

I do consider myself lucky, because it could have been MUCH worse had I not swerved to avoid the car in front of me that had slowed down (and it would have been all my fault, too).

But so far, all I have wrong with me is the post-adrenaline rush shakes, and a stress headache.

And I should consider an undergarment change, because I nearly shat myself when this all transpired....

3. Thanks.
I think I'll take the city roads into work for a few days, though ...

2. Thank goodness you are okay
The car is minimal considering the drama.

4. I feel pretty lucky...
Not "Winning the lottery" lucky, but the "Glad I'm not in the emergency room" lucky.

And you're right - the car is just a few pieces of metal and plastic... I'm glad I'm still walking around at this point.

Thanks for your reply.
