About 30 minutes into the trip, on a 2 lane road, while talking to my friend Amy, I was struck by a rock the size of a softball. I screamed as it was headed straight for my head!
Thankfully, it struck the 2-3 inch ridge above the windshield.
That my friends, could have been deadly!
A while after I settled down from that one…. Traffic came to a screeching halt.
There was an accident on one of the roads and it was backed up for miles.
I couldn’t jeopardize missing my flight as Dave and I had plans to head to the lovely Belterra Casino and Resort tonight in beautiful Florence, Indiana.
As I sat in traffic, I asked Linda for a detour since it was evident traffic wasn’t going to move for a while.
She hooked me up with another route. I was still a little worried about making the flight.
I drove REALLY fast and made it!
When the National agent wasn’t looking, I took a quick photo of the new dent on the Patriot.
It’s just that I have “heard” that reporting damage only results in a ton of time consuming paperwork. And that was not something I could afford – time!
Made it to my gate with a few moments to spare!
Caught a quick nap on the flight.
Upon landing – grabbed a rental car and went home where Dave was waiting. We hit the road within a few minutes.
Got down to the casino a little before 9. Had a few drinks in our room and then set out to gamble. I did pretty well on the slots, so I quit early.
We continued to gamble for a few hours and then headed back upstairs. I have a game tomorrow at UC – so can’t stay up too late!
