Hit Again
Last Friday as I was driving home with my daughter in typical California rush hour traffic, I got rear-ended. Again. Two years ago we traded in my gas guzzling car for a nice, shiny red Honda Civic. I picked up my daughter from school one day and got rear-ended by the poor 17-year-old in the
