The day started out with such promise

I was up at 6:00AM which was a good thing because Buster overslept AGAIN. This seems to be a reoccurring thing lately. Not sure if he's setting his alarm, turning it off in his sleep, or just enjoys starting off his day with my foot in his ass. Whatever. . . . he hasn't been late or missed one day yet.

After he leaves for the bus stop, I hop in the shower thinking about what I need to take with me. Today was the day I was supposed to talk to Ron Cooper's Marketing classes at Lake Washington High School. I suffer through the tail end of rush hour traffic across the I-90 bridge on my way to Kirkland. As I am taking exit 18 at 85th on I-405. I glance down to check my directions. I look up and see that traffic has come to a sudden halt. I slam on my brakes as I plow into the back of a Nissan Pathfinder. My hood buckles as my mind races. I get out of my car quickly to see if the person I just hit is injured. She wasn't.





I call 911 and have an officer dispatched to the scene. I talk to the young lady expressing my concern as to her condition as well as my sorrow.

I get a call from Ron, the High School Marketing Instructor telling me that they haven't had power for the last hour and a half and wanted to know if we could reschedule. I said, "sure".

The Police Officer arrived and took care of the administrative duties that the situation called for.



$295.94 in towing fees later my car is parked behind my house. Gave the guy $125 in ones, my emergency c-note and a bunch of fives. Money that was going for next months rent.



Now I'm broke, I have no car and I'm still ugly. Well it could be a lot worse. The young lady was not hurt and my insurance is paid up.

If it weren't raining I would take the bus downtown and street perform. But it is raining, so I think I'll crawl back in bed and suck my thumb.
