Carol,
You can't have been humbled too badly by the experience, or you
wouldn't
have had the nerve to broadcast the experience to the group.
But then we have all been there-done that. Maybe not that exact
thing
but something similarly as seemingly stupid. This is evidenced
by the
round of "Stupid People" stories that most of us contributed to
late
last year and carrying over to January.
Nobody (well, almost nobody) will look down on you for your
error, so
come out of the corner and enjoy the driving weather.
