My "Buzzard Mobile" shot down by friendly fire

What a nice day...off the Bear Mt Inn to paint. Stopped for a bagel and over heard some conversations about how bad the storm damage was in the park. Trees down, roads washed out and a dam on the Harriman estate broke. Met up with one of the painters, we went to move the cars in the lot to be seen better. I parked and then "wham". My ice tea in the dashboard  cup holder went flying as my mind registered what the"wham" was after my head snapped back in position. My poor Fit got hit in the rear drivers side. A friend lost her brakes as they were parking behind me.  Needless to say that ended my thoughts of  painting for the day.The park police came and wrote the report. Dropped car off at a body shop and was lucky to get a rental car. Got a Toyota Sienna, cool mini van, as soon as the adjuster comes I will be put into a roller skate as soon as one becomes available. Live out of my car so, transferring my belongings from the Fit to the Sienna was twenty minutes of sweaty labor, no comments from the peanut gallery. I was so calm all day, it is getting scary. Not that I was ever high strung or that easily angered (maybe not true on this one)   but this super mellowness is new to me. Hearing myself utter,  "It's better to hit me in a parking lot than, if you lost your brakes in traffic or on a winding (spell?) road. " Wouldn't have never come out of my mouth a few years ago . More like "Oh, SH-T!!!!!!!!" or "My CARrrrr!" Who is this mellow creature living in my body? Did she develop from well over ten years of what I thought was useless therapy and old age. Scary...

 Next week going to try and get up to the Basha Kill most likely on Thursday. I have to find out how the roads are up there. Still getting over seeing all the local damage. It was sad to pass houses with stuff piled in the yard or driveway. The most pathetic and heartbreaking sight was, Weirs being cleaned up, it is one of the best ice cream places in this area. sigh....
