Safe-Time Continuum
by Jon HassingerGrowing up in the Hassinger House, being late wasn't always your safest bet.
Breaking curfew, or not meeting back up with Mom in the Montgomeryville Mall, at the EXACT time we agreed upon two hours earlier, meant a huge guilt-trip along with a slight punishment.
Also, after several accidents and speeding tickets throughout my teen years, I have become a very safe and cautious driver.
I was 20 minutes early, on my drive into work, enjoying the local AM Sports Talk Station, 790 The Ticket, and a cup of High Test. I then saw cars in the lane to my left, on I-95, all begin to slam their breaks. I heard tires skidding from behind me. I immediately slowed to a crawl, and braced for impact.
A tiny 2002 Honda Civic, driven by a Jon H, from Pittsburgh, PA, merely months older than I, smashed into my life.
Two rental cars and Renee's Pathfinder later, it's still in the shop, exactly 2 weeks ago, today. Luckily, it wasn't my fault.
Let this be a lesson to all you teenagers out there:
"Being on-time, doesn't always mean you're safe."

When you ran into the Jon H from Pittsburgh did you put both hands up and go , “I’m Young!!!!” and fall to the side and pass out.
Whats the name of the Lexus anyway?

Yes, then Doc appeared out of nowhere, caught me before i fell to the ground and dragged me into the bushes.

I call it the “Lexo”. That’s unofficial, though.

It is a “she”?? I had a friend who called their Lexus “Lexi”. Though, I prefer it with an “ie”.

I think Lexi or Lexie would be the feminine version. My car has testicles. Lexo is masculine….. Like Mario, Fernando, or Alejandro… Ale-Alejandro.
But he’s Japanese, not Mexican.

That was an unintentional implied emasculation of your faithful automobile. Hope he recovers soon.
