Ok, after visiting three stadiums in two days, I was off to Nashville International to come home. I was unavoidably delayed for a bit. See the front of my white (crappy) rent car above? See the back of the darker car above (license plate smeared in photo on purpose)? Well these photos were taken after the following . . .
I allegedly rear ended the dark car with my white car while leaving the football game in Nashville, Tennessee today. Ok, I admit to "bumping" her. That event (and I am not making this up), caused (1) the female driver of the darker car to call 911, (2) me waiting 30 minutes without anyone showing up and then politely giving the lady my name and DL number and explaining to her that I had to catch a plane because this didn't appear to be any big deal since there was no damage, (3) what I presume to be the very big husband of said lady arriving and telling me I didn't need to "run", (4) me deciding it might be a good idea not to leave, (5) after an hour of waiting then watching an ambulance, police officer, and a fire truck zoom past us (6) observing those same three vehicles to come back five minutes later once they realized they were called about this "collision" (7) the maybe teen-aged daughter of said lady, above, to be strapped to a backboard (once again, I am not making this up) and placed inside the ambulance (8) having the daughter scream bloody murder inside the ambulance because the neck collar was driving her crazy, (9) the daughter and parents deciding that it might not be a good idea to put the daughter in the ambulance after all, and (10) me to confirm with the cop that I wasn't receiving a citation to which he affirmed I would not because "there was no damage to the vehicles."
I expect to hear from the Tennessee equivalent of "The Texas Hammer". Thank God I had a digital camera with me.

Wow
That sucks!
At least you didn't let it ruin your whole weekend.
Dang, Barry, know any good lawyers? And remember what they say: A man who represents himself has a fool for a client...
glad you're OK and had a fun weekend though...
And a big weekend trip for me is to venure over to Denton. You are brave.
Not ot worry; Brock can handle any "Tennessee Hammer" these idiots want to throw at you. The only question, how much of your partnership's take are you going to have to relinquish for his services?
This reminds me of the time back in the OL' Dist Atty days when I was appointed as a Special Prosecutor in East Texas. I rode to the Smith County Court House with my then Investigator King Barnett. Kings car was parked outside the Courthouse near a parking lot. The County Judge's Secretary side swiped King's car when she left the parking lot. King got a ticket for "parking too close to the exit." I managed to keep him from having to do any hard time for the offense. This gives you an idea about how much help I can be for my fearless partner BSG. Brock
Maybe you should get a bicycle? Seems the car thing isn't working out for you lately.
This is from Quiverring Norm:
I feel your pain. I hope you were able to escape without telling them your profession, which would up the price of poker even more unfairly.
I suggest searching for the "Tennessee Crowbar" or the "Nashville Nailgun" to do battle with the Hammer.
Thank you my friend.
The police should have given her a ticket for the unneeded 911 call. Obviously not an "emergency"!!
Sorry Barry,
It does seem you have a problem backing into people. Maybe you should get those detectors all around your car that tells you when you are close to a curb, or have you thought about one of the grill guards that completely surround the car.
Well did your teams win. I hope so!!!
