So here's the kicker

So here's the kicker.

I got out of Baadasssss! yesterday and saw that there was a message on my phone. I listen to the voicemail, and it's Naomi. She says she's gotten into a car accident. Oh shit, says I. I give her a call. She says she can't talk long. She's gotten a ride from the scene, and they're going to visit the guy who's in the hospital. Fucking hell, says I. Everything's fine, she says. She just went off a cliff. Fucking hell, says I.

Turns out she lost control of her car and went over a 30-foot ledge, causing the people who were tail-gating her to slam on their brakes. They got clipped by the person who was tail-gating them. The second tail-gater subsequently swerved into a telephone pole. Two separate accident reports later--one for her, one for the two cars behind her--and she's in the clear.

We went and looked at her car today, and there's nothing wrong with it. Well, there's a dent on the driver's side door. Other than that, nothing. Naomi falls off a cliff, doesn't get injured, and her car attains some minor cosmetic damage and some dust. One guy was taken to the hospital, but it turns out he's doing okay, too. Unbelievable.

The road where she crashed was still closed off today due to repairs to the telephone pole.

All in all, today has been accident-free. Uneventful and nice besides picking up the car. So far, so good. Any well-wishers should email Naomi at her new Hotmail account. I'm going to take a nap and otherwise call this day a wash.
