Car vs Moose / Auto vs Orignal

Wednesday, August 12th, 2009

What every parents don’t want to hear… Last night I received a call from Vincent. The phone reception was terrible and could barely understand what he was saying to me. I knew from the tone of his voice that there was something wrong. I finally was able to understand, “moose, accident”. I am sure that my heart skipped a few beat. Especially since I responded to several moose vehicle accidents in the past week. At that time everything went through my head.

I picked up a car from work and went directly to the accident scene. The very good news is that neither Vincent nor his friend who was in the car with him were injured. They were pretty shaken up and had few minors cuts and bruises, but other than that, they are both fine. (Thank god)

The car has some damages. Broken side passenger window, dent in the side. Nothing that can’t be fixed. Besides Vincent was able to drive the car home.

All that to say that it is not a good feeling. I am used to attend accident scenes but this one was different, believe me.

C’est le genre d’appelle qu’un parent ne veut pas recevoir… Hier soir, j’ai reçu un appel de Vincent. La reception etait terrible et j’avais de la misere a comprendre ce qu’il disait. Je savais d’apres le ton de sa voix qu’il y avait quelque chose de grave. Tout ce que j’ai compris finnallement as ete “orignal, accident” Je suis sure que mon coeur a saute quelques battements. Surtout que ces derniers temps j’ai repondu a plusieurs accidents de voitures impliquant des orignaux. A ce moment la j’ai imagine le pire.

J’ai pris une des voitures d’ouvrage et je suis parti directement a la scene de l’accident. Les bonnes nouvelles, c’est que ni Vincent ni son ami ont ete blesses. A part avoir ete secoues et quelques bleus et coupures ils etaient corrects. (Merci Seigneur!)

La voiture as ete endommagee un peu. La fenetre du passager est completement brisee et une poke sur le cote. Rien d’irreparable. Vincent a meme ete capable de conduire la voiture a la maison.

Tout ça pour dire que ca a ete pas mal enervant. Je suis habitue a repondre a des scenes d’accidents mais celui-la etait pas mal different, vous pouvez me croire.

Matchbox Twenty / Black And White People

One more day down
Everybody has those days
Where one soft sweet songs
Just enough to clear my head

Fall on real life
Is anybody left there sane?
If we slide on over and accept fate
Then its bound to be a powerful thing
