    My wife, my son and I were on our way to a restaurant to celebrate a combination
    Valentine's Day / 51st wedding anniversary when we got rear-ended in traffi Both his
    vehicle and ours had to be towed, but no one was injured.

    I mention this because I just got the car back from a Ford dealer earlier to for a
    transmission repair. Our plan was to drive the motorhome with the vehicle i tow to Fort
    Lauderdale for an annual Police and Fire meeting on Sunday and a Police Reti luncheon on Monday.

    Those plans are obviously cancelled. Now starts the process of getting a rental car and
    doing everything necessary to get the car repaired.

    We went from glad to sad in a heartbeat. I wish I could have captured a picture of my
    face when I looked into my rear view mirror and saw a pickup truck speeding towards
    me, too fast to stop in time.

    I hope everyone was ok!
