Small Favors
It seems to be the month of car accidents. Last week, James and his wife, Nathalie, were in a car accident that totaled their car but left them okay, albeit shaken, and last night my roommate, Matt, and his girlfriend, Lindsay, had the same thing happen to them.

Apparently, they were driving on Route 50, waiting to make a left turn when a drunk driver plowed right into them. They were both okay, but Lindsay's car started leaking gas, so they managed to get out as soon as they could. Lindsay's car was a SUV, and the back end was totaled. They said that if they had been driving Matt's car, which is a smaller sporty car, they would have been screwed. The guy came over and was smoking a cigarette, and they tried to shew him away since there were gas fumes all over the place. To sum up, the guy was arrested for DUI and Matt and Lindsay are fine. Still, it's an incredibly scary, lucky thing. If one thing was different (they had taken Matt's car, the traffic in the opposite direction was still thick), things could have been alot worse. Thankfully, everything is okay.
