My Car gets hit from behind…

Yes, it’s true! I’ve had over 15 years of accident free living and this car, my favorite car of all time has never been in an accident until Tuesday when I was hit from behind while stopped in traffic on the way to work.

I was the lead car in a three way fender bender in which APD responded to. Citations for failure to provide valid insurance, and failure to provide valid ID were given to driver #3 who impacted the middle vehicle which in turn hit mine.

Damage seems to be isolated to my rear bumper, which looks like it has been pushed down about 1 inch and in about 2 inches. The left rear tail light has been popped from its housing and both are pushed up about 1/2 an inch. The great part is you can see the front plate and bumper of car #2 in my bumper… :\

Here is some video:

I dropped Christine off at the airport today so she could travel to Cali and back in one day. Her cargo of course being the boy. He’s due back finally and we are all extremely excited. We’ve got so many things planned for him over the next month and the following weeks after school starts.

He’ll finally be here on weekends, which makes me super happy. I can finally do things with him! Things a real Dad gets to do with a son. I’m sure he’s starving for that type of attention and I’m eager to show him it.

First up! a trip to the San Antonio Zoo. It’s going to be great, a new zoo and a new experience. After that we’ll go check out the Riverwalk and the outside of the Alamo. After that there will be trips out to the Lake Travis and boat rides, building things in the garage, learning to ride a bike, making new friends and just getting the chance to be a real kid with a real family finally.

It’s gonna be great!

Planet 51

Plot Summary for
Planet 51 (2009)

Lem is just an average teenager working on getting the girl and furthering his career at the local planetarium – except that he’s an alien. At least to U.S. astronaut Captain Charles T. Baker who lands on Lem’s planet hoping for a quick flag plant and a hasty return to earth and his millions of screaming fans. But on this alien planet the media has tagged spacemen as brain-eating, zombie-creating monsters, causing Baker to run for his life and into Lem’s house. Now it’s up to the green native to get the clumsy astronaut back to his spaceship before military dictator General Grawl and mad scientist Professor Kipple manage to exterminate the Earthly visitor.

4 Stars out of 5!

I loved this movie, it was really funny. The “alter” world that was the aliens home planet was very cool. My favorite character was the dog. It was an “Alien” puppy, with the tongue mouth, and the acid “pee”. It was a classic use of the cameo.

The characters were funny as well from the comic store working best friend to the cute next door neighbors daughter who the lead character was afraid to talk to.

The astronaunt was well written too. Mostly into the space program for the chics at first, he later comes into his own and becomes the guy with the “Right Stuff”.

I would recommend this for kids from 7 and up because of the theme and the inter-movie jokes.

Enjoy!

I found this near where Mike lives. It took me forever to find it. It’s hidden down some side street, and the trees along the main road only let you catch glimpses of it.. what a PIMA! Anyways. I thought it was pretty cool so I took a picture of it.

There is another one up in Round Rock and I’m sure there are some more elsewhere. Maybe I’ll try and find them all. =)
