I was involved in a car accident today.
I'm fine, thanks for asking.
I was going to work, sitting at the light, waiting for the cars in front to turn, and I hear this screech.
Then bang and bang. The same car hit me twice. I didn't see it coming.
It was a weird day. My car had to be towed to the shop, so I got a ride to work in a tow truck. Enterprise came and picked me up at the end of the day, in a car paid for by my insurance. Hooray for insurance.
All those premiums I've paid and I've never gotten a thing. Now I do.
It's actually a much longer story than this, but without diagrams its hard to explain. So ask me next time you see me, I'll tell you the full story then.

Tiger Woods & Tibet
So, I'm on my annual NCAA vacation and CBS starts showing commercials for the Masters and they talk about Tiger and his chase for the 'Perfect Season.' Its March. Can't we at least wait until he gets back from England and his 3rd Major win in July before we have to see these ads? How sick of the Patriots chase did you become?
Please stop it CBS. Granted he is the greatest golfer of all time and the most dominant athlete of his sport right now, but he's got a long way to go. First he's got to get to 11 straight tourney wins. Which I don't think Tiger will do. Ever. Its the equivalent of DiMaggio's 56 game streak. Its the anomaly that can't be explained.
If the situation in Tibet gets further out of hand, do you think the US should pull out of the Summer Olympics? First of all, it's not going to happen. There's too much money at stake for it to happen. There would have to be protests on the scale of nothing I've seen in my lifetime. Cities in America would have to burn before we would think of boycotting these Games.
You don't think that the powers that be want our athletes over there kicking their asses on their soil? They go to sleep praying every night that this happens.
When it doesn't happen, look for the US to make a push for the Summer Games in 2016, and if that's already too late, expect the Summer 2020 Games to be on US soil.
Oh yeah, and Duke lost. Fuck.
But Opening Day is the 31st. Hooray.
I love it how my two sports don't quite overlap, although I wish they would. That would mean Duke is in the Final Four.
