The One Guy I'd Love to Slug This Week...

...would be the tractor-trailer driver that broadsided my sister on Monday night at the Waterfront and then sped off before anyone could even catch his plates.

And before I continue, yes, my sister is fine. Her car was jacked up pretty badly, so it sounds like she was lucky to come out without a scratch. Even at no more than 10mph, a tractor-trailer can put a real hurtin' on a little sporty two-door.

My sister was just sitting in traffic near an intersection, not moving, when this guy started accelerating towards her. She laid on her horn for a couple seconds, but the guy never took notice and rammed her on the driver's side as he turned. He continued his turn, stopped for a moment, and then took off. The guy behind my sister witnessed everything, but since he was worried about whether my sister was okay, he didn't look for the truck's license. Another witness was so enraged that she tried to track down and follow the truck, but had no luck.

Considering that my sister was not hurt, I'm not expecting an extensive investigation from the police. So there's a good chance this jerk will get away. I think its a fairly safe assumption that the guy was drunk and fled for fear of DUI charges and losing his job. And while I'm not a big fan of people's lives being wrecked by criminal charges, I'm even less of a fan of sharing the road with assholes like this. Hopefully nobody else has a run-in with the guy.


And then the weird thing was that I spent half the night Monday night having a very vivid nightmare about Mary being a big car crash (I did not find out about my sister's crash until Tuesday). So its almost like I sensed it, but had the wrong person in my dream.
