Memory Walk

We had a great time at the Memory Walk for the Alzheimer's Association this year until the ride home.  Luckily it wasn't our fault, but it's still an inconvenience.  Our van is in the shop this week.  The total damage is well over $2500. We'll be paying something because the insurance only pays 75% of exhaust work because it is part of the car that needs maintenance/replacement during the course of having a car.  The shop has said it shouldn't be more than $50, still more than I care to spend on something that was not our fault, considering we had stopped a good 2-3 seconds before the other driver slammed into us.  I have been extremely careful since, putting on my brakes to back-off other drivers.

First accident involving another car for either of us.  We hit a raccoon that cracked our front bumper the year we got our van, and I had an accident back in college when I was student teaching.  That was the worst winter ever. We had at least 7 snow days and the day I hit a guardrail happened to be one of them, just didn't hear about till I got to school.
