My third auto insurance claim

[cjsmith]

In just about twenty years I've had three auto insurance claims. The third one is this morning.

Nobody's hurt, not even the pedestrian who marched out across the on-ramp, but my rear bumper is all folded in, and the guy behind me is going to need a new bumper and hood.

It's not a new car any more.

Shit! The pedestrian needs an ass-kicking, even if he didn't get hit by a car.

Join me in my sucky insurance dance of woe! Woe!

The pedestrian does need a serious dose of clue. There is a crosswalk -- it's the ramp from Mary northbound to Central eastbound -- which means California needs a dose of clue as well, but common sense would have avoided this whole thing.

I remember that ramp, and often wondered why the crosswalks were at-grade. Glad you're okay and no one was injured.

Yeah, that's the best thing out of this whole deal. It's basically no more than a minor annoyance, because nobody is hurt.
