So, I just totalled the car....

-the one that wasn't in the shop getting a $500 repair. I guess it's one way to resolve the question of how we were going to get all 5 of us, our luggage and two sets of hockey goalie gear back to Ann Arbor from the UP in a 2-door Focus.......

yes, 'course we're ok I would let you know if we weren't thanks. We're now enjoying the tale-telling portion of the incident....

(sorry I didn't reply immediately, i was in the shower washing the glass particles off my scalp -those things stick like crazy!)

We do have pics but they are stuck on Hebe's phone right now.

Srlsy, if everyone has to total one car in their life, I'm glad this was mine. Over in seconds, no human damage, yes, we are hundreds of miles from home, yes, we just spent $500 getting the car fixed (a different $500 from the one that's currently in the shop getting fixed), yes, we just filled the gas tank, but there was nothing on the other carriageway, the crumple zones did what they oughta, the car was old, we hadn't spent anything fixing the vibration problem, and we are surrounded by 25 other families all from ann arbor with huge vans and SUVs.

We were the only ones driving, but we were only a couple of miles from the hotel. thor has a tourney in St Ignace (under the bridge) and hector is 50 miles further North in Sault Ste marie. hector is rooming with his coach, the rest of us are staying with Thor, hebe and I were headed North to watch Hector's morning game and then planned to come back for Thor's which was immediately after. beest stayed back to help thor get to the rink on time
