Just a post to let you know I’m still alive. There haven’t been any traffic incidents (at least, not while I’ve been home) in the last few weeks, but I’ve got my ears cocked for any excitement, and I’ll blog it the minute it happens.

I had the camera set to inside whitebalance and “warm” color setting. Why it looks like twilight, I don’t quite know. This accident was around 5:15pm, still in the full light of a long summer evening.

A mere two days after the launch, friendlyandmendenhall.com has its first victim.
Looks like a lane-change accident–it doesn’t have the carnage usually associated with T-bone accidents.

Hello world!
Welcome to Friendly and Mendenhall.com!
For the last year, my wife and I have lived at the corner of a fairly busy intersection in a small Southern city. It’s the intersection of a major four-land road–the main Westbound artery out of downtown–and a small, two-lane residential street that is the main access into two adjacent neighborhoods.
In the time we’ve lived here, we’ve seen seven car accidents at our intersection. Nobody has been seriously hurt in them; they’ve all been stoplight rear-ends or somebody running a red and getting T-boned.
We thought it would be interesting to blog the activities and accidents at our corner from our front porch, high above the street. This blog won’t move much, but when it does, it’ll have the good stuff–car wrecks, mangled fenders, and possibly even fist fights.
