# April 11th, 2025 - A car crash. It seems I'm not the only one having a bad day. Minutes ago, on a damp, dreary day of contemplating my failures, I happened to be in a parking lot when someone bumped right into my car. Naturally, I got out, took a photo of her license plate. Turned out my partner today was a weary old grandmother. My biggest fear was entanglement with the police. Yet as we inspected both our cars, I'd note that nothing was bent or scratched on my bumper. Likewise, the paint hadn't even been stripped off hers. As the receiving party in this case, I dismissed it out of hand. The woman appreciated my lenience, as evidenced by her smile. I was rather happy, too. Paradoxically, this occured just as I was questioning how kind I've been to people who don't deserve it.
