was in a fender bender monday morning. not my fault, which is a first. thank god i was in the subaru though.
was stopping at a light which had just turned yellow. i was going down a bit of a hill/slope and it was raining that morning. i was stopping fine, but the dodge ram behind me thought i was going to go on through i guess. she hammered down on the brakes and i could hear her back wheels lock up and start sliding. i hadn't come a complete stop yet, so i just left off the brake to try and give some more distance. she still wasn't getting traction and by the time i started to just hit the accelerator to go on, whammo.
the damage wasn't too bad, and it could have been much worse for both of us. but considering the car is 12 years old and has 192k miles, chances aren't good for getting repared without the insurance company just totalling it out.
here's pics of the damage.

also, julie and i went to the americana folk festival yesterday. we had a good time until a little bit before patty went on and it started drizzling a bit. unfortunately, the drizzle made ppl stand up and start crowding the stage (for some cover). this then lead to the usual behavior of ppl cutting, pushing, and shoving. god how i hate unwanted physical contact.
but here's the photos i took.
