Well folks, it finally got me.... life/economy etc.
I left work Friday to pick up lunch for me and the wife. A truck stopped in front of me to turn left and I stopped a car-length or so behind him. We had been sitting there for several seconds waiting for traffic to clear when I looked into my rearview and saw a car coming up behind me. Well, as I looked away to see if the truck was moving yet, it occurred to me, "WOW, that car is flying up on me." Before I could look up again, BAM! He tried to insert the nose of his Honda Accord up my smart's little poot chute at 45 MPH. That crammed me into the back of the pickup truck that was still stopped in front of me.
My back and neck is killing me, my feelings are hurt, my little smart has looked much better.
After getting home from the ER, I found out that I had been laid off along with 7 other people. So much for the hope that engineers were a little better insulated from the economic down-turn.
A least I have plenty of time to brew now. Of course, it freakin' hurts to lift a bottle of brew, much less a full carboy. Mmmmm.... pain pills and beer. Such is life.
