It was a dark and rainy and VERY early morning...
when the guy in front of him on the highway hit a deer, and while Brandon watched the deer carcass fly across the highway the said guy stopped, causing Brandon to rear-end him, wrecking the truck that he got back on Monday from the repairs from the last wreck he had in it in February. This is literally prior to 5 a.m.! A buddy from work was able to detour and pick him up, taking him to work for the day where he found out he was now required to go get a drug test. So, after another buddy drove him home after work he rode the scooter (on the coldest day of the year so far) to Carole's work, traded cars with her, and headed out to get his drug test.
Part 2:
It was a cloudy, windy, cold afternoon...
when Brandon got pulled over (think back, yes, 2 days ago we were saying, hmmmm, seems like we should have gotten new tags for the car recently, but we didn't get anything in the mail, must not be time yet.) for having expired tags (turns out they only send something to you if you let them know your address changed.) While discussing this with the officer Brandon reached into his wallet to get out that new insurance card that recently came...only to find it had not gotten into his wallet. Bummer. That is a $595 ticket on the spot, we don't care if you can prove later that you are actually insured. At this point Brandon reports the officer probably saw the tears welling up, and kindly let him off.
Part 3:
Now it gets really good. While waiting for Brandon to finish trying to get the tags for the car we heard that the paperwork we've been waiting a week for on the new house finally came through!!! Yeah!!! We had almost written yet another house off, but apparently God knew we couldn't take another hit today! So, while it looks like after getting a mortgage we'll be trying to buy some clunker so we can both get to and from work, the good news is we're getting a mortgage (as long as the appraisal goes ok....cue ominous music)
