Yesterday morning I was awakened to the sound of a wreck outside my apartment. I went back to sleep because I still had about 3 hours before I needed to be up & I don't get up earlier than I have to. When I did finally get up I looked outside to see a cop car, some maintenance trucks, & workers on the curb. Not on the curb? Our mailbox. That's because it was laying down.
Yes, that is correct. Someone ran off the road & took out our mailbox. And a pole.
I found out from Skidmark last night that it was the result of a carjacking on the N.C. State campus down the road. He lost control of the getaway car & then tried to jack a truck that stopped to help him after he wrecked. The almost-jackee (that's what she said) drove off because seriously, fuck that. The jacker (ugh...) ran off behind our apartment where he was then apprehended by the cops.
Methinks I need to move.
On the plus side, we already have a new mailbox & it's not directly on the street so there's no threat of me getting run over.

Your mailbox has served its country well. Did you at least hold a memorial service for it?
No :( It all happened so fast...
I think I'm hearing a little "told you so" bird fluttering your way. RUN! It's your mom.
"Jack-ee" and "Jack-er"
I like it. A lot.
