What !!

I get woken up at 8:30am this morning and it's Victoria telling me that Melissa is on the phone, so I take the call all groggy and say; What! She tells me the car is stuck on some tree shrubs or something going into work, I say; WHAT? So I tell her I'll be right out.

She works in the mall down the street not far from home. I get to the mall and drive where I think she is, but I don't see her or the Purple Neon? I drive around the mall parking lot and back, then around the front and I see her and the car. WHAT! or more like WTF!! The car is parked on top of the flower bed of the mall about 20 feet from the road on the corner as you would normally drive into the mall parking lot and stuck on top of the shrubs. I just look at her and the car and shake my head, then ask how the hell did you end up her? She said the window was fogged up with frost inside the windshield and she couldn't see. I say; WHAT! .. How can you drive like that and then totally go off the road like that? Again I shake my head.

There were a couple of security guys there trying to help her before I got there, but couldn't move the car. So I tell them I'll maneuver my car around back and try to push her through and over the shrubs. I get behind and push with my car and it only moved a bit as Melissa tried to drive it out at the same time. I maneuver my car a bit and try again, and still not going and the tires on mine and Melissa car are spinning as we try to move it forward. In the mean time as I was pushing her car I end up breaking my new IMAZ plate cover that my friend from Arizona sent me to replace my old plate cover that broke when a sheet of drywall came flying up and across the hwy hitting my front end of the car last fall.

Well now My blood is boiling and I back my car off and get out. I get behind Melissa's car and start lifting and pushing it forward while telling Melissa to drive forward. I lifted so hard the the back bumper was twisting in my hand as I was lifting and bouncing the car forward to get it over the shrubs to get it out. As I'm lifting and pushing the car started moving forward as Melissa is giving it gas to move it forward. I gave one last hard lift and push and it was out!! Melissa parked the car and I drove my car back around off the flower bed to meet up with her. I shake my head again, and say how could you drive like that? if you can't see the road to make a turn into the mall, what would happen if there was a pedestrian on the side walk? You could have killed someone!! Then told her just go in to work.....Kids!

I drive back home still shaking my head.....and quickly poured a needed coffee.


Todays workout.....

My calf is healing up nicely,( moooo) So after my coffee I went to the rec center to try some running and diving. I ran 30 min on the treadmill and all was well, then went down to the pool and did some diving, i took it slow at first testing the waters so to speak, and my calf was doing ok, so i ran through my list of dives on the one and three meter boards.
