Well, tonight got bad at 7:40 when I got a call from a girl I was gonna go out with tonight yelling at me b/c I forgot to pick her up ( it happens, right? ) but anyways. So, at home, what to do? Well at 9:00 my dad and I sit down and pop in the next Band-of-Brothers DVD, we get about 30 mins into it, and the phone rings... No one calls the house phone this late. So, I jump up, grab the phone, no one there. My first thought was my mom was drunk again calling me... So I check the caller ID, nope, its my grandfathers cell. wow, thats weird. Every friday they go to dinner with my aunt sally and uncle joe. Well, I call back and hand the phone to my dad. My grandpa picks up and yadda yadda yadda so on and so forth and he hangs up. They were involved in a collision out on route 60 on this side of i80. Well, we get our coats and head over to Illini hospital and wait for them to get there, meanwhile we call my aunts and uncles. They get there, my Grand parents that is, and they are wheeled in, looking pretty good * my grandmother just turned 80 years old * but I sinced my grandma was in pain. Turns out what happend was some young gal was trying to commit suicide * the cops think, only way someone would have done this * so she had her car ( black ) parked sideways on the 2 lane road, lights off, right over the creast of a hill. My grandparents are on their way back home, and WAM, broad side this car, I heard it opend the car up like a can of sardiens. Luckly my grandparents drive a nice mercury ( they get a new one each year just about ) and were wearing their safty belts. My grandmother has 2 broken ribs from the seat belt, and my grandfathers ankle and wrists are sprained... I just got back from the hospital, so Id make a post about it...
