Muddling Through

There is a reason all the good road trip stories are set in the summertime. This is because winter travel sucks.
As does my life right now. Over 30 claims since Monday.
::dies::
At least none of the people I have spoken with are *surprised* that there was an accident.
This leads me to believe - if I was to follow the ole adage of "write what you know" - then I would write stories where my leads are caught up in a 20 car pile-up on an interstate right on a state line and NO ONE knows who has jurisdiction and which state laws apply. And both states are totally different. Yes.
And if it was smutty enough, y'all would love it. Buncha pervs...
::grumbles::
Although - if it was Clark and Lex and the car was Clark's beat up old junker and he had *convinced* Lex to go on this disasterous trip and then once the pileup happens he won't let Lex use any Luthor clout - they just have to sit there in the cold for hours while the troopers figure out who needs to do what and meanwhile Lex is having a Control Freak Meltdown because he knows *exactly* how the officers need to report this *and* get the vehicles all back on their way and it is freezing and Clark is really just to cheerful to be borne.
Well that could work.

Every last one of you who puts in any effort to help dopes like me figure out the paperwork required deserve gold stars and someone to polish your halo and bring you good porn or something.
