Apparently sometime around noon my Uncle Dick - who is visiting my grandmother in Kent, Ohio from North Carolina - fell off of a ladder at my grandmother's house and hit his head pretty badly. In the hospital he apparently had forgotten why he was in Ohio (The wedding last weekend) as well as the fact that he had been retired for several months and that Black & Decker was moving his old plant to Mexico. In other words, the fall made him forget everything that had happened in the last few months and he wasn't remembering things he was being told. My mom says she thinks he's going to be fine, but it was a bad thing, nonetheless.
Then, around 5:00 PM, I get a call from Marie saying that she was in a car accident on her way home from work. She wasn't injured, just shaken up. Apparently this trucker from Indiana was in the left lane and Marie was in the center lane. The truck didn't see her there and started changing lanes and hit her and then dragged her in her car for about 150 feet! And, wouldn't you know it, there was a cop car in the right lane just next to Marie! To make a long story short, the car is in pretty bad shape, but Marie is fine. We now need to find a way for her to get to work every day. Yesterday was only her fourth day at VW and she already got in an accident!
Here is a picture she took of the accident scene.
My dad said "Boy, I hope bad things don't come in threes!". So now I'm waiting for a piano to fall on my head.
