So last night Dan was coming to Ogden from Logan with a date, when his Honda got a flat tire on the freeway near Willard. This was strange, since the tires were new last week. Dan got out of the car to see if he could fix the tire, but he didn't have a jack. He called my dad to come and help. Dad showed up in his truck and with a jack, but they could not get the jack to work. After a while, they decided to leave the car on the side of the freeway. Dan dropped Dad off at home and left on his date in the truck. My dad called his cousin Jay to go with him to get the Honda. Jay wasn't home and wouldn't be home till about 11 pm. They planned on going to get the car then, but once 11 rolled around, they changed their minds. They would get it in the morning instead.
This morning my mom gets a phone call around 8 am, before my dad had a chance to go and get the Honda. They caller was a lady in her Stake. She asked if my mom had a Honda that was on the freeway last night. My mom told her yes. The lady then informs her that it is no longer there. What had happened was her son was driving home from a date last night about midnight. I'm sure he was going about 75 mph, and he fell asleep. He crashed right into the Honda and totaled it. He woke up to the the air bags deploying. Her son was able to walk away with nothing more that a broken finger. If he hadn't hit the Honda, I'm sure he would have rolled and who knows how bad off he would have been. As my mom said, what are the odds that he would fall asleep at just the right time so he would hit the Honda and not roll off the freeway?
I thought it was a pretty cool story.
**If Dan or Dad read this story, please correct any info that I have wrong. This is how I understood it from Mom.

Wow, that gave me goose bumps! Always someone looking over!!
Nicole, I wanted to send you a comment on the poll you have about going private or staying public. I was debating that too, and I asked Arin's sister about it (she was my roommate too) and she said that people saw her kids whenever she took them out in public, she doesn't worry about that, so why would she worry about photos on her blog. And she has people all over looking at hers. I don't have as many, so I don't worry about it...now. I just make sure I don't say where I live.
