This was my Dad’s Jeep.

This IS my Dad’s Jeep.

Someone decided to jet out infront of my Dad, thinking they had enough time to make it past, only to STOP SUDDENLY IN THE MIDDLE OF THE LANE.

My mom called me last night around 7:30 and the first thing she said to me was “Ok, I want you to know Daddy’s OK.” This sets off my internal alarm (which is very sensitive due to too many heartbreaking family emergencies in the last few years) and I had to ask her to clarify since she refers to my Dad as well as her father as “Daddy”. She didn’t have much info at the time, but we knew he was OK. The airbag had done it’s job and saved my father from any life-threatening injuries. Only his arm and hand is banged up from hitting the door/window because of the blast of the airbag.

I’m incredibly beyond thankful that he is alright. I love you Dad!

So Dad, you said you liked the Scion xB right?

Well since I don’t reside in Ghana, Togo, Libya, or Kazakhstan (or any other area where the eclipse is viewable) I had to wait until people from those areas, and other areas where you can view the eclipse, posted photos to Flickr.

Here are a few of my favorite photos of the eclipse;
