<\/p>\nImages from yesterday’s … incident.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
The “path of doom.” You can see how close she must’ve come to my car. You can also see the burnout marks from where she stepped on the gas (although she thought <\/span>she was pressing the brake).<\/p>\n This is what I saw out of my window right after the crash. Of course, when I was looking at it, people were getting out of the car. I took this picture a few minutes later.<\/p>\n Another picture of the car; this time the tow truck people are looking at it.<\/p>\n A close-up of the damage. Amazingly the car was not that badly banged up. Later that night, they actually drove it down the hill to the right; they didn’t want to have to cut down those bigger trees, so they found a spot where there were only a few small trees. <\/p>\n This is what’s left of my porch.<\/p>\n Another view of what’s left of my porch. It was getting dark by now, as you can see.<\/p>\n A close-up of the porch. I’m going to have to clear this mess up today, because Amanda has a hard time climbing down over all the broken wood and nails.<\/p>\n Well, there you have it. Sorry about the small picture sizes; I don’t have enough disk space on my website to host all of the high-resolution pictures that I take. (Perhaps next year I can upgrade to more space… we’ll see.)<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Images from yesterday’s Thanksgiving “drive your car into my house” incident. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_jetpack_newsletter_access":"","_jetpack_dont_email_post_to_subs":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_tier_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paywalled_content":false,"webmentions_disabled_pings":false,"webmentions_disabled":false,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"activitypub_content_warning":"","activitypub_content_visibility":"","activitypub_max_image_attachments":3,"activitypub_interaction_policy_quote":"anyone","activitypub_status":"","footnotes":"","jetpack_post_was_ever_published":false},"categories":[3,8],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-295","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-personal","category-pictures","entry"],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"","jetpack_shortlink":"https:\/\/wp.me\/pimUj-4L","jetpack-related-posts":[{"id":73,"url":"https:\/\/www.starkeith.net\/coredump\/2003\/12\/02\/most-awful-commute-ever\/","url_meta":{"origin":295,"position":0},"title":"MOST AWFUL COMMUTE EVER","author":"Keith Survell","date":"December 2, 2003","format":false,"excerpt":"At 5:30am, it started to snow.
