After watching Bruce Almighty at Kirk Backstrom's place with Yanbing, it was time to go back to catch some sleep when I saw a yellow wooden barrier placed beside the rented Cavalier that I parked along Cumberland Avenue (closest to Walloston Hall) was hit and there is a deeeeep dent in the driver's door towards the front left wheel. "oh shit!" as i advanced closer to inspect what actually happened and this time it wasn't my imagination; nothing could be more real that realizing that "that's a fucking huge dent!" And I was like "what am I going to do?! Hertz!! they're going to screw me! Insurance! oh damm! i should have purchased it!!" Then I noticed a note wedged in between the wiper and windshield. I thought that had better not be a summon ticket for illegal parking! But I know I did NOT break the law because that is a legal parking space at that time. A sign is just before where I parked reads,
"1 hour parking: Mon-Fri 0800 - 1700"
I parked there at 22:40 so I could have parked till Monday! "That couldn't be a ticket", I convinced myself! Took it off and unfold it. Under the incandescent light I could hard make out any words and besides, it was snowing heavily! On top of the paper reads,

There was a 5 car accident last night just after 11:00pm. We will all be reporting to SGI

The content of it was a list of those involved in the accident.

Drove back and called up the first person on the top of the list, Danielle. After talking to a lady (apparently learned that that is her mom) she said that it was Danielle who hit a parked car. That is the Cavalier. oh my god! But very politely her mom explained how the accident happened despite the fact that I might have awoke her coz I think she was surprised as well the driver of the parked car called up looking for information "this late". All went well. Kirk was on the other line waiting to be answered. Asked me if I had called up the city police. Yeah, I did and the officer told me the what Danielle's mom told me. So I figured that is what I must do then. The best part is all the numbers and names provided in the note was all genuine. This has made it so much easier!

Lets just hope that I will not be liable for the damages incurred in that accident. I learn one thing here, no matter what your chances are, that infinitestimal probability can always show up and boom! you're hit! If you're insured, then you can be rest assured everything will be fine! If you're not, you don't call the shot! It can burn a huge hole in your pocket! Take the inverse of an infinitestimal number and you'll see it's a huge number! that's a simulation of how big the impact can be.
