On Monday I was getting on the freeway and heard a pop, and also kind of felt it. Scared me. I finally got turned around enough to see that my side back window was shattering. I could hear it shattering too. I was worried that the window would fall out and I would either have a big mess in the car or get in trouble for littering on the freeway. So I pulled over and assessed the damage. I could see that the whole window was shattered and staying together somehow. I called Mike and asked him to bring tape so we could tape up the garbage sacks I had. This way if it did end up falling it wouldn't make a mess anywhere. While I was waiting an officer and two strangers stopped and offered help. There wasn't anything any of them could do but I was very impressed with their willingness to help. How often do I just blow by someone who has pulled over? I finally made it home and put Mike in charge of figuring out how to fix it. I drove it to work on Tuesday and after school got in my car to come home. I closed my door and heard glass falling. Yup, I now had a big hole in my window. What you see is after it grew. I got out to check how much had fallen, got back in, and shutting my door created another smaller hole. As I was driving I kept hearing glass falling, it was staying in the sacks and the two holes had combined into the big hole you can see through the sack! So I stopped and traded Mike cars cause it was causing me too much stress to keep driving it. He got it fixed, so now my window is fine, but wow! The weird things we have to deal with sometimes.
