well, i had planned on doing nothing. then a buddy gave me a call & asked if i wanted to go to traders world on sat. i told him we will see after i paid bills on fri. fri came & he had to cancel, then a different one asked me to go to the zoo. so i told him that i would see when i got up sat. morn.

that morn i got up late for the time i would leave so i told him maybe another time. so with my agenda free once again, i decided to go to brown county state park to take some lovely pics. now normally, there isnt a fee to get in due to the time of year. i go & find out that they are chargin (it was only $5). so this is what i shot:

this park's roads had a lot of hills & turns. i found myself leting off the brake/gas just to coast. as you can see from the pics hat it is very pretty (you can just imagine the other seasons(especially autumn)). after leaving, i drove thru nashville. passin by what used to be the little nashville opry (before it burned down), it is now a massive, vacant lot.

so i decided that i, in fact, was goin to go to ohio. to see a freind who was working from 9-5 that day. but before i go, i was gonna stop by culvers drive-thru to grab a quick bite. while waiting in line i see this ford f-150 is switching gears. i thought he was gonna go from park to drive. instead he starts backin up. i freak (cause i have no horn (its a long story)), in my panic i go to switch into reverse. by the time i get my hands on the gear shift, he has done hit me.

he has no damages to his truck:

meanwhile, my car gets the damages:

he cant find his insurance card & wants to write it down & give me a check. after consulting with mom & gma, i call the cops to come & file a report (that i cant pick-up till monday). so to relax, i go one exit down to the kfc/a&w. i drive home and begin thinking bout the meaning/purpose of today. my mom decides that she's gonna eat @ cagney's with her sister.

because they allow smoking in there bar, but not the resteraunt, we go sit back there. i go to order a knob creek & cola (i feel like i deserve it after the day i had), they card me. thats the first time ever ive gotten carded when i didnt have my teeth in. i didnt have my license, so i took moms jeep thru the back streets to pick it up. after we get done from eating @ this snutty bar, we decide to go to indiana live! casino.

after playin find the spot in the parking garage for 15 min, we nab a space. i waited 1hr45min to play the machine i wanted to play (i felt like a vulture). long story short, i lost this time.

the whole entire day, i kept singin to myself "aint nobody gonna break my stride" just to keep me happy. COME ON APRIL 17th!!!

Wow. Such a beautiful day, and then that. I'm sorry about your car, but am glad you weren't hurt. And you did the right thing getting the police report. Far better that way.

thanks, it could've been better yet in retro-spec, it could've been worse.

Very nice pics... except for the ones of your car. Ouch! Glad you weren't hurt. Why was that guy backing up in the drive thru anyways?

He stated that he changed his mind & couldn't see me in his rear veiw mirrors untill he hit me.

The exact same thing happened to a friend of mine in a drive-thru. Then later, the guy who hit him tried to deny it and say that my friend had hit him from behind! Luckily, the manager of the restaurant had made a report at the time of the accident (when the guy was still admitting to backing up), so that pretty much proved my friend's version of what happened. I hope the idiot that hit you doesn't try to play any games like that.

Good for you for not taking a check from him! You never know if it could bounce, or he could stop payment on it.
