It was a good Father's Day -- got to spend it with my dad and the rest of the family.
Monty stayed home resting from working 6 days and trying to get rid of more hives (just what he wanted for his Father's Day).
On my way home from my parents' house I was traveling along nicely, in the left lane of one of our one way streets when the small white car next to me decided to make a left turn --- from the right lane!
CRASH ! BANG !
Big 3/4 ton truck WINS!!!!!! The little white car no longer has a driver's side mirror, the driver's door no longer opens and all the glass from the window in the door is now inside the car -- all over the driver! He wasn't hurt and I am also fine.
I left a trail of skid marks about 30 feet long -- trying to avoid him crashing into me -- but it didn't work. The impact landed my truck in the intersection of the street! Everything inside my truck went flying -- but me --- thanks to seat belts!
So now I have the fun of getting the estimate and scheduling the repairs. Since he hit the front tire on my passenger side I have to make sure the collision repair puts it up on a lift to check underneath.
Praise God neither of us was hurt and metal and glass and rubber can be fixed and/or replaced. But seriously --- you just cannot make a left turn from the right lane of a one way street!!!!!!
Until next time . . . THIS is why I drive a big, really big truck! Susan and Monty

About Me
- Susan and Monty Scales
- We've spent years helping families rebuild their lives and homes after natural disasters. Those adventures have taken us to Mississippi, Louisiana, Indiana and Texas. God is now teaching me there are numerous definitions of "disaster." This new adventure of driving a school bus is taking me into a whole new world of "rebuilding." Stay tuned and see the hand of God in action! Jesus really does "love the little children; red, yellow, black and white . . ."
