There will be a slight delay in my getting results shipped this week since last night I was involved in a car accident. My car was severely damaged. Fortunately no one involved was hurt, though my mother and I were quite shaken up. My brother and sister-in-law came to help and were so kind and helpful to us we were most grateful that my brother was home as he had not planned to be home until later this month.

I have to go today to the body shop to meet the insurance guy and then hopefully we will have a rental car (provided by my insurance company) so I will have to see how everything proceeds before I can do my mailing. I know you are all waiting but it will probably be after the weekend once I get everything sorted out.

This is my second accident in Ocala since I’ve lived here (3 years now) and both involved 16 year old drivers. This place is the worst place for auto accidents of anywhere I have ever lived including San Francisco. I have never seen as many accidents as I have here. It’s terrifying. You know they even have a Highway Fatality board (sign) for the county – it tells how many deaths from last year, how many so far this year, how many were alcohol related and how many people were not wearing their seatbelts. In this area MOST people who are involved in fatal car crashes are NOT wearing their seatbelts. It defies logic really. The paramedics who came to the scene were so nice and very happy when we told them we of course had been wearing our seatbelts.

I will post here once everything has been mailed.

UPDATE: Everything has been mailed!
