Driving to work this morning, nice sunny day, enjoying the music, no traffic, making great time, thinking I might make a personal best (it takees 65 minutes with normal traffic, I’ve done it in 55, was looking at 50)… when, boom, got rearended.
By a big ol’ construction vehicle.
A vehicle significantly larger than El Kiario.
That was being driven by a kid who didn’t even have his full adult license yet.
Sigh.
I’m fine, but what a pain in the ass (sic).

Awww, **twicks** what a sucky way to start a day. Make sure you are ok, cause sometimes you can start to feel it several hours after being rearended. That looks a whole lot dirtier than it really is. 😃

Sorry, **Twicks**! That bastard.
But what _is_ your favorite way to start the day? And do you need help with it?
