A Dog, A Car And Avanza

Today our little baby had her first traumatic experience in the womb, as much as an unborn baby can have a traumatic experience in the womb. We had gone to Viet Hoa market to check out all the exotic Asian items they have there. We got some good stuff, they have super great prices as well. My favorite pick up was the chile sauce or sause as it is spelled on the bottle. It's so good. I don't really know what brand it is, it's possibly Ớt Xay brand but I don't know. Oh they also have live frogs you can purchase to eat. They keep them in a tank in the back by the fish, it's weird man. 

Anyways, we left Viet Hoa and were going to Avanza. We were going south on Federal Boulevard just a few blocks from Alameda when we spied a dog running full speed heading across the road. It was only like 40' in front of us. The dog crossed the lane we were in and proceeded to the other lane where a car happened to be and the car hit the dog. The dog got thrown in our lane and the dog barely avoided being hit for a second time. The dog did get back up and was running down the street so it wasn't dead or anything but it certainly had some sort of injuries. It was scary though. Amanda and I were both pretty upset about seeing it. And since the baby, we assume, can feel the emotions of her mother the baby was upset as well. Traumatized momentarily, if you will. 

And that's the story of how we saw a dog get hit by a car and our baby had her* first scary times in this world. Hopefully we all won't go through that again for a long time.Ok then, have a great night or if it's morning or afternoon have a great one of those. And I hope you finally finish that puzzle you've been working on.

  1. OK here's a nice note just to give you some feedback............probably think getting a real job for a thirty-sometning would be a better cause for that little mouth to feed.
    Amanda's wages,,,,Dad's wages? maybe the baby can exceed the norm. We waited for almost 7 years before we thought we could afford a child, and decided at that rate we could never afford so went ahead and had three. Stocked Shelves midnight to 8am was not fun but did it to get the money (clean - no assistance.)Got daycare assistance for 6 months and it really bothered me and decided that I need to grab my boots by the straps or laces and be the father figure and take charge of "OUR FUTURE". Have gon from 25k to 97k in the last 9 years and have settled in the higher side because of the economy but it can be done. Brad,,, Go kick your Dads ass as you can get it done.
