Poor little car...

I got into a pretty bad accident this morning driving into work. The grey car was making a left turn from the oncoming traffic right in front of me. I didn't even have time to take my foot off the gas pedal to hit the breaks before I hit it. Before I knew what had happened, the airbags deployed and I was in shock. Thank God that He protected me! I walked away from this with only a gash on my neck from the seat belt. Thank God for Swedish Engineers for making good, safe cars! The insurance adjusters will get an estimate on the damages on Monday. It is possible that my poor little car is totaled! I just bought new tires for it!!!

This is one of my favorite pictures (I confess I didn't take it). It shows nicely the creatures that adorn the roof edges of almost all the buildings inside the Forbidden City. The very end is always a little man riding a bird of some sort. The largest hall within the City has the most number of these creatures, at 11. I wish I knew what each of these creatures represent, especially the chicken guy (as we have endowed him).
