While I was waiting to go through a light, a young Chinese woman rammed into the back of my car. I wasn’t holding the brake down hard so nothing was damaged. Guess she just didn’t know how to do the brake. She couldn’t speak English at all. The lady in the passenger seat did all the talking. Bizzare. No one was injured.

We also visited with Ruthie North. Good fun!
r
Ashley came to help me at the mission with the kids. Miles really helped us last week when the mission got flooded.
