How my Friday started, or; Look both ways!

Hey, Kevin here. So, a funny thing happened to me this morning. Well, I don't think it's that funny, but you might. I dropped E off at Dottie and Papa's today. They live in an apartment complex that has some covered parking just in front of their door. Now I don't usually park here as these spaces don't actually belong to them. There are two spaces that are open, however. I have no idea why I decided to park here this particular morning, one could call it fate, I guess. Everything is normal...We go inside, say hi to Dottie and Papa and I kiss E goodbye. I get in my car and put it in reverse. I look behind be to see if I'm clear....I am and proceed to back up. I cut the wheel to the right to get into the direction I need to be going......then.....CRUNCH! I stop and think "What the heck did I back into, there's nothing there!". Well, I didn't back into anything. When I cut the wheel my drivers side front fender ran into a support post for the car port. So, I pulled forward and got out of the car to assess the damage.....it's BAD! My fender and bumper will need to be replaced. The good thing is that I can still safely drive the car, but it doesn't look so hot. I guess this is why we have insurance.
