Everybody's fine ...

Rodney was driving home from getting a haircut with the boys and rear-ended a lady, who then rear ended another man at a stop light. The air bags deployed and blew dust everywhere. Rodney's forearms and bruised and "burned" by the air bags and he's generally stiff and sore. Will was quite freaked out by the air bags deploying because he could not breathe with all of the dust they expelled when they deployed. He was pretty shaken and tearful. Xan just took it all in stride. Rodney called me at home and I ran over to the scene. Both boys were sitting nicely on the sidewalk. My mom came, and took the boys to her house for supper and a few games of Wii. I took over the project management and called the insurance company, It sounds like the truck will be considered totalled, which could be rough on us, since we owe more than it is worth. But, Rodney needs reliable transportation, so he is already on the Internet, looking at sensible, gas-friendly sedans. The truck is currently in our driveway, awaiting another tow to the salvage yard where the adjust can take a look at it. We'll keep you posted as to the next chapter in this saga ...
