About 58 and sunny with a high of 73 expected.
Had a minor fender bender yesterday...Wife and I were in the local Post Office parking lot mailing out our tax forms.
We were stopped, waiting for the lady ahead of us putting her outgoing mail in a drive by mail box. If she'd gotten a bit closer, she wouldn't have had to get out of her car...but she was too far away from the mail box.
While we're setting there, an older gent backed out of a stall parking lot right into our F-150 (a big RED supercrew). As I was getting out to check the damage, he backed into our truck again! The first hit startled us, but the second one really startled us!
He pulled back into his spot while I was checking for damage (and keeping an eye on him in case he backed out again.
He didn't even realize he'd hit us...twice!
Older guy...and I kept my temper (which is good for me) and we exchanged information.
Relatively minor damage to the F-150...pretty good dent in the bumper surround of his Honda Accord.
It's a shame, really...older (70's or 80's) guy...and he probably shouldn't be driving...especially since he had no idea what he'd done...and he did it twice.
