Actually one of the reasons I didn't go is I was paranoid about travel yesterday, so hearing about the blowout is pretty interesting. Glad as heck that you're safe.

I thought you'd abandoned LJ?

Good to hear you're ok... how bad is the damage? (Bill dented a whole fender in from hitting someone else's tire pieces at speed.)

(And someone should tell you how I ended up 3+ hours late to my birthday party last december...)

yeah.... the bumper on that side looks like I hit it with a two by four. The hubcap is missing and the car looks like crap around the tire well as well. no one was hurt though and other than the alignment being wayyyy off now, the care seems to run fine. =)
