The infamous Blizzard of 2011 started off interesting for me to say the least. I was involved in a Crash at 9:30 AM in the work truck, and things only got more interesting from there on out. I took Pics through the day with my Cam Phone, and some are posted up on Facebook. More are to follow soon. If this FB Link doesn't work, then I will host what I have at my Webshots Gallery and start another Topic here to share some of them. Until then, I hope this link works to serve as a Starter for the pics I have uploaded so far. www.facebook.com/album.php?id=100001906145079&aid=23903Off to see if this works.

From My end (as owner of the pics, Ect...) It works.
Let me know if the rest of y'all can't see anything. I'll host more at the other Topic and eventually on my Webshots Gallery.It Doesn't! For me to share the Pics, I'll have to post them up at WS. So here's the first one.... This guy hit the back of my work truck at a stop light as I was out on a Delivery this morning. Ouch!

He has some very expensive repairs coming his way... Bet the truck was just scratched..
Glad you weren't hurt..

Thanks, Craig. Not hurt at all. Rather, it felt like the drums sliding forward and hitting the bulkhead (front wall) of the truck. Took all of a second to recall that the drums I was hauling were on skids and weren't going anywhere. A quick look at the mirrors showed me a sideways vehicle behind me and I said " oh poop...".
I'm behind on my Pics Uploads, but it was the next day when I examined all the evidence and found where the guy hit the truck. He hit my Right Rear corner with his Left Front. He tried to steer away from hitting me... but didn't make it. (as is seen in his damage.)
The officer filling out the crash report checked the box "500 - 1000 Dollars Damage" Shoot. I'm guesstimating more like upwards of $2500, ya think? Probably even more than that, as it would have cost $1500 to repair a really small dent in my mom's van bumper that got a dent in it last year. Them Plastic Bumpers aren't cheap to fix and repaint.
Heck, they probably just R&R things like that anymore. No Fixing, just Replacing. But... I've been out of this field for too long to really know for sure.
