Poor Dad!

Some people say bad luck comes in three but I am always wary of that since "they" don't give a time limit. If it is true, hopefully our family has had our three now.

1) Dad was driving younger brother's car and was attacked by a double trailer big rig gravel hauler and the Aztek was drug by the trailer resulting in that vehicle being totaled. Dad was ok and younger bro now has a VW Golf. Truck driver had Mexican DL, spoke no English, attempted to flee the scene, and gave bogus insurance info (the company he said he was insured though had never heard of him.) The $ from Dad's insurance did not cover the cost of the used Golf. This happened while I was in MS. You can read about it HERE. And a picture HERE.

2) My accident. No on hurt, inconvenience, unknown the repair outcome on my car.

3) Today Dad was riding his bike to the train station as he does every work day, and suffered an accident that resulted in a concussion, broken collar bone and bad pain. Poor Dad. I hope he has a speedy and quickly pain-free recovery. Of course, like all good Dads who lead by example, he was wearing a helmet so the head injury was not worse.

I hope this means our family is due for some good luck now.
