I was hit by a car Saturday night, ask me anything!
I'm trying to get a lot of posts to reach 1000, so no details unless you ask so I can reply. And yes, I really was hit, as a pedestrian.

1. Are you okay?
Obvious, I know, but sheesh...

My husband was hit a few years ago. Hit and run - and they caught the guy.

3. Yes, thanks
No broken bones, but lots of bruises. I went up onto the hood and onto the ground--very theatrical and stunt-like. He ran a stop sign.

2. Day or night?
And if you were at night were you wearing bright cloths? Being a Bicyclist I know that bright cloths won't always help, and how much it sucks to get hit by a car. But it's never been bad enough (on me or my bike) that I couldn't ride away.

5. Night, in Los Angeles...I was visiting
I now live in Denver, was in my old neighborhood feeding stray cats that come around there. Imagine, doing a good deed and getting nailed! And want to know the most bizarre part of all this?

10. The most bizarre part is....
...I had just jumped backwards from a car that had run the stop sign, turned at that speeding car, then a nano-second later turned back to see this second car coming at me! NO ONE stops at stop signs in LA!

9. Bless your feline-friendly heart
What neighborhood? I lived there once (and fed strays) so I'm curious.

11. The neighborhood is Hollywood...
...near Sunset and Western. They are so many stray cats there--it's awful.
