The car was annihilated on the passenger side. I was driving in the left lane of 169 going north just past of Co Rd 21 in Jordan when a Ford pickup smashes into me. The collision forced me into the median and into oncoming traffic. Fortunately the truck stopped in the median so I was able to swerve back into the median before another car could finish me off. See the pictures here. Joe’s feeling ok, just a little sore.

After watching poor Cole climb in and out around two sets of carseats and plenty of struggles trying to get the carseat carriers around open doors, we decided that it was time to bite the bullet and get a minivan with sliding doors and an easy-to-access third row for Cole. I hate to admit it, but I actually enjoy it. It’s so much more practical and convenient with the boys, and it still has all the bells and whistles that my Lexus had – plus a DVD player! It’ll be great for our trips to Chicago!
