Welcome to Miami with a Bump to Your Rear
When packing to move to Miami, I realized that I had way too much stuff for my little Saturn to haul. I went to U-Haul to get a trailer hitch put on and to rent a little trailer. I came here without any problems and turned in the trailer, but never got around to taking the hitch off. Guys find this hilarious. I guess it isn't very often that you see a little Saturn Sedan with a hitch. It may sound strange, but that is the best thing I have ever done for my car.
I got my driver's license moments after I turned 16 and have been driving ever since. For 10 years, I drove all over the US (believe me) and even in the Middle East (where they are CRAZY drivers). Not once in that entire time was I rear ended. Since I have been in Miami, I have been rear ended at least 3 times a year for the past 6 years like clock work. Why am I bringing this up today? Because.... it happened again on my way to work. I was waiting near the front of the line of cars exiting the highway, when the car that was completely stopped behind me decided to gun it. He smacked my hitch pretty hard & sustained damage to his car, but mine came through just fine. -You can bet that the next vehicle I buy will have a hitch put on within the first week no matter how goofy it looks.

This blog is like a journal for me. It is also a way for my friends to keep tabs on me.
For people who don't know me, I come from a big family (3 brothers & 1 sister). We moved around a LOT, so I am not really from one particular place. I like to call Katy, Texas my home though.
Recent news, my Dad & Mother-in-Law were diagnosed with Terminal Cancer in April/May of 2005. My dad passed away 5-Dec-05 .
