Vicki and Shaan did get in an accident, a very frightening one. I should have clarified since some people thought that it was part of my dream or nightmare.
Anyhow, on October 5th, Vicki and Shaan were driving home from Mom and Dad's and were on 580 near Dublin/Pleasanton and a teenager who was driving recklessly hit them in the back and caused them to spin out from lane 4 to the fast lane where they ended up facing oncoming traffic. A big truck stopped just in time.
They are ok, just shaken up. Also, the car which had been Vicki's brother's Praneel's (who died in a car accident in 2003) which then became Ned and Vicki's has 10k worth of damage. I'm guessing that the frame was damaged. She is upset about that too cuz she doesn't want to let go of that car for obvious reasons...
Anyhow, that's the real deal and just makes driving around in metal boxes at high speeds seem to be that much more dangerous than it did before October 5th. Anything can happen is what it tells us. Plan for tomorrow but live for today too!
