be thankful...be very very thankful!!!

WOW!!! Steve was in a near head-on collision this morning on his way home from work. He had just filled up the Elantra with gas (dangit...) and a huge Chrysler Town and Country SUV swerved into his lane. Turns out the guy had fallen asleep at the wheel. The impact pushed Steve's car all the way up onto the curb, deployed both of his airbags and turned his little Elantra into a pile of junk. All of this after a new $2000 transmission and new tires (dangit times two!!!). I am so so so thankful that he is alright (just a few scrapes on his arm and some burns from the airbags). The other driver is okay too. In fact, he had no injuries at all and his airbags didn't even deploy. We went to the junkyard to take some pictures but they aren't in the office on Saturday or Sundays (of course) so we'll post them next time. Just wait till you see our poor Hyundai---be thankful...very very thankful!
