Today was not such a good day. It started out alright; we took a walking tour of campus, went to an awesome natural foods store and had a picnic lunch at a park by a river. But later in the afternoon, Dan decided to go play Frisbee Golf while I browsed art galleries. I got a phone call while downtown- someone ran a red light and plowed into Dan while he was entering an intersection to make a turn. He saw it coming and tried to get out of the way so he wouldn't be hurt, and he wasn't. You can see that the driver's door was the only thing spared- like a church untouched by a tornado that ravages a town. This car hit him so hard, it spun him around and then the car hit him again in the front. Everything in the back that had been so meticulously organized in drawers and boxes with Velcro closures and rope tie-downs was thrown into chaos. The bike handle scraped a gash in the ceiling and ripped off the interior light.
We spent the evening having dinner in our room, Dan talking with our insurance company, trying to decide what to do next. Is the car safe to drive home from Montana through Wisconsin and then to Virginia? Is it totalled? How much will the other driver's insurance company pay? So many questions. In the morning we will try to get some answers.
