A friend of mine’s daughter had her first day of college yesterday. Great kid. Great head on her. Really grounded. Hard worker. Use to show cows and bunnies in 4-H.

Since she is sharing an apartment with a friend, she has to drive to classes.

Yesterday morning here in Michigan, we had torrential, brutal thunderstorms.

She either hydroplaned or something (details sketchy) right through a 4 way stop sign.

Right into the car \*owned and driven by the professor who’s class she was going too. \*

Everyone was alright. Airbags went off all around. Minor scratches on themselves, but, I just feel so bad for her.

OOOooooo Talk about bad karma!  
I hope the class isn’t part of her major.
