I hate talking about this, but I appreciate all the concern, so here goes:

Back in mid-July the Austin area was experiencing weeks of torrential rains. One day there was a break in the rain, the weatherman indicated for a day or so (he was wrong). I had cabin fever/Cobra withdrawals. so I took the car out to the hill country. I got caught after dark in a huge rainstorm, and in my hurry to get home got a little careless and missed a turn. I'm fine. My ego took a beating, but I'm okay.
The car is okay, too. I hope to have it back in a month or so...

Thanks again for the concern.
