This is what my dad wrote in his email to friends and family:
"These pictures were taken with a phone camera, sorry they are not very good. Car is a goner! I am blessed! Not a scratch.As I went around the bend North of the Lincoln Jct store, a car was stopped, waiting to make a left turn. As I stepped on my breaks the brakes locked up and I felt as though I was skidding on snow. I had three choices: continue and rear end the car in front of me, hit a tree or ditch it. I chose the latter. The ditch was so moist that when the car hit it, it slowed it down so fast that the inertia made the car flip over going "head over heals" and it landed on the roof. After I realized that there was no white lights and glass was all around me, I unbuckled my seat belt and proceeded to turn off the engine (it was still running) I heard people outside screaming, looking but trying not to look into the car since they thought I would be badly "damaged". I coul not open the front doors so I climbed out the back door. The driver of the other car was calling 911 but I told her to tell them I did not need help, and that I would call my own tow truck. They were amazed (as was I), that I walked away without a scratch. The airbags did not deploy and no headlights or anything in the front was damaged so speed was not an issue (I don't think, neither did the cop since he thought it was just an accident).A policeman showed up to write the report. At first he said I would have to file an accident report with DMV, he explained that a report had to be filed when there was an injury of more than $1,500.00 in damages. He looked at me and said, "No injuries!" and I said, "well, my car is not worth $1,500.00" so he said I did not have to do a report. Overall, I was very fortunate in that the only loss was my car and a towing bill."
And this is what I did on marks birthday:
For Mutual we made mini fruit arrangements!
And this is how Mark REALLY celebrated his birthday... last Saturday (good thing):
