Marlene & Arthur are OK!

I know you've read the paper and seen the news. Well, we're OK. Just a few aches and pains.

We were driving up the Rural Route to Ovid. I needed new walk shorts so we were going to the Discount District. Arthur was driving the old sedan. We were taking that particularly dangerous turn near the Old White House when this swanky red BMW shoots around the corner swerving onto our side of the road.

We both yelled "What's this guy doing?" Arthur beeped and turned fast but it was too late. Pow! He slammed into our driver's side. Air bags went off and Thank God for seat belts. Arthur pulled a muscle in his groin. I hurt my neck a little. But, it could have been much worse.

The BMW stuttered on for a few feet. The driver's side was totaled. When the guy stepped out, he was clearly wasted. He came over, asked how we were and vanished into the woods. We had no idea who he was.

Glass everywhere. I was shaking. Arthur was moving his leg to check how much he hurt. We called 911. (It was close to the old hamburger diner. Those five old men in there just stared at me.) A very nice man stopped to be a witness. But, no driver of the other car. He'd vanished.

A very nice cop went into the woods. But, nothing. Our car is totaled. We've got aches and pains. They're still tracking down the jerk who did this. We'll get back to you as soon as we can with more details. (I never got my walk shorts.) Updates should continue as usual. We're just a bit shaken. If anyone knows who this man was, please contact us through this blog.

Thanks. Have a good one. Be careful.
