I got a call this morning at 5:42. Getting a call at that time is rarely, if ever, good news.

On the other end of the line was a calm (though slightly aggravated) CJ.  "Jay, someone just hit me in the roundabout.  Can you go in for me?"

My first inclination was to ask "what in the heck were you doing with your roundabout exposed in a manner that would allow someone to hit it?", but then my common sense clicked in and, instead, I asked "Are you okay?".

He's fine.  He's just going to be a little late.

As I was checking traffic this morning, I saw his crash reported on Lafayette Parish 911's website:

That's CJ's crash on Rue du Belier @ Ridge Road, in the roundabout.
