But just okay.<\/p>\n
We got back from Pennsylvania around 5pm tonight. In Richmond, on I-95 right through downtown, a car in front of me rolled over a piece of tire and it whipped into the front end of the Prius. I wish I had more time to react, but I didn’t. Even though Dave and I were thinking about pulling over to check out the damages, downtown Richmond is NOT the place to just pull over anywhere. While our car was driving fine afterwards, two pieces of the 3-piece plastic grill for the air intake were destroyed.<\/p>\n
There’s also a slight dent on the right side of the lip under the intake area. Just enough that we’ll probably have to get it repaired\/replaced before we can replace the plastic grillage.<\/p>\n
As if we didn’t have enough to do before we move… \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n
Ya know, it’s always so wonderful when we’re in PA — and stuff like this always happens when we get home. In 2006 it was Jake’s broken leg…in 2007 Dave was wrapping up his changing of advisors\/offices on campus. I guess this is relatively small by comparison…but certainly par for the course!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
