Falling Rock

In my studies of the Native Americans and being part Native myself, I was tought that Falling Rock was a Legend of an Indian and not an actual rock that falls.


Sorry to hear about your car...

Dumb rock

While Jennifer's car had a run in with a tree Mine had a run in with a "falling rock". I have often seen these road signs that tell me to watch for fallen rock. Well I have always looked and never actually seen one fall till yesterday. Tyler and I were driving home from Jackson Hole Wyoming, which by the way we had a good time even though it rained. Anyway, I see the sign and look over and see a rock about the size of a football rolling to the street. There was no way to miss it (didn't even see it go onto the street itself) It got caught up under my car and bounced around and hit some stuff and came out. Tyler got out and looked but couldn't see any damage and we couldnt tell if anything was leaking because it was raining and everything was dripping with water. I drove the rest of the way home and a few hours later went out to my car and there was a puddle running to the drain of gasoline, the stupid rock punctured a small hole in the gas tank. It is one of the saddest sights in the world, seeing gas that is almost 4 dollars a gallon to up in the car drip out one drop at a time, it is like throwing money down that drain that I park next to. I took it in this morning and they have to replace the gas tank and they looked and saw exactly where the rock hit, the fuel line they think is fine but there is a dent or two that is just in the right spot that the tank no longer is sitting right. Right now I am car less while the dealership tries to get me a loaner, hopefully I get one by tomorrow so I can actually go to work. I have bawled my eyes out all morning. The guy at the shop reminds me of Loren and he helped me a lot. I was telling him and another guy that it is scary dealing with this while I have no family around. They were really good at helping me and with telling me how to deal with the insurance company. They also said it was not the smartest thing to be driving my car as far as I did like that. Life really does have a way of throwing curve balls at you.
