Winter Wonderland
It's snowing. I went out onto my balcony to enjoy the stillness that only snow can bring. That serene quiet that muffles everything and makes you think you're the only living being on the planet. Powdered trees, light reflecting softly through the blowing whiteness....this serene moment is disturbed, there is a snap, followed by a groan...the big tree right in front of my apartment has just fallen under the weight of the snow and landed on my car. I shit you not.

Sara
RFLMAO! Bea, please tell me you are kidding! I am sorry to laugh. It really was my first reaction. I am not a horrible friend - honestly.
Truly please let us know what the damage is.

I wish I was joking....I stared in horror watching a tree fall on my car. It felt like I was in a Felini film. Don't feel bad Sher, the sick part was that I had just walked under the tree like 5 minutes before when I took the trash out. Better the car than me.
Sara, um I can't really tell the damage. I can't move it and there's too much snow, it's still coming down. I hope the rest of the tree doesn't fall on it.
ok was able to move the Battle Beetle, windshield is intact as it sun roof...don't know about the paint job, snow is coming down too hard-found a space that had no trees around it-I need a BIG DRINK
OH.
HOLY.
SHIT.
My great grandpa always said he was "going off to kill a Chinaman". Apparently this is a reference to two fingers of whisky. My dad always thought he was going off to kill people when he was young.
Talk about fear of your grandparents.....
Oh and you want to hear about accidents? I ran into a dump truck one time. I got out and asked the driver if he was okay.
He looked at me as if I'd grown a second head.
"Ya Damn fool, you just hit a dumptruck. I'm not even gonna bother to get your information, yer a idiot."
My car was dented. he drove away laughing at me.
Well I'm glad the damage isn't too bad. I had horrible visions of a massively dented and mangled lime green beetle with this giant tree limb on it hehe. And I'm also very glad you didn't wait 5 minutes to take the garbage out!! Talk about fate, huh?
LD-you just said a cotton pickin' mouthful! lol, I'm sorry that I Kirked out on you at 2 am, thank you for being the Phone Voice of Reason.
Sher-now, in the light of day I can laugh. It's terribly funny!! No worries doll.
Sara-LOL I too had visions of tree limbs sticking out of the sun roof. Yeah the fickle finger of fate found me last night!!!
True-Several Chinamen stopped in last night who were very kind and provided me with a rather nice bottle or red wine (giggle) OK I'm game, just how exactly did you hit a dump truck?
