justalurkrBased on early morning weather reports, I didn't figure on retrieving my car until tomorrow, but wasn't about to go another night with no diet Coke in the house, so hiked down pretty much with the sole purpose of getting some out of my trunk and sneaking off.
The business driveway I parked in had a guy in an SUV trying to break up the ice on their driveway and was doing a brilliant job of NOT hitting my little Civic. Which was mighty nice of him, given that I'd partially blocked his Murrican made Cadillac business with my little foreign born rice-rocket.
"Thank you for not hitting my car," I said, picking my way through the iced-over chaos at the bottom of the driveway.
"You're welcome," he said quite sincerely. They feel strongly about these things in Jaw-ja.
I suffered one skinned knee (right,) a bruised palm (left) and a sliver in my left index finger (yay for being right-handed!) in the retrieval of my vehicle. No other damage done, and I am on my third perfectly chilled diet Coke. :D

Date: 2014-01-30 12:34 am (UTC)Co-worker keeps her own stash of Diet Coke in her car, and keeps a small cooler in the library to chill down a couple of cans at a time. We don't have a fridge, and the one we have access to is publicly accessible, so... no. During our last freeze out, I told her to be sure to bring everything in, or else she might have a nasty surprise when she got back into her car.
