Car Accident

Back in January, later January, I had a car accident. Not on a road, but in a parking lot. I was backing up from my parking spot and accidentally backed into another vehicle. First time I ever did that before. I re-parked my car. The vehicle I violated was some sort of SUV, I think. It had some scratches on the back bumper. I decided not to drive away from my responsibilities. I poked my head into the post office, and asked if anyone had a black Ford Explorer. The mail guy said, "Yes. Someone has a Ford Explorer. I don't know who it belongs to, but I'm sure somebody owns it." Taking his sarcasm as a no, I went back outside to figure out what to do next. Perhaps I should try some other adjoining stores. Then the lady came out of the post office who owned the car. She seemed to appreciate me for stepping up to the plate, so to speak. We exchanged numbers, and I hoped her repairs weren't to expensive. Turns out the top part of the bumper was knocked loose a little bit. Fortunately, it only cost a little less than $100 for her SUV to be repaired. And about $220 to fix my police-mobile.
