Too bad !!!! Where you able to drive home with the car? Jean

Eric, I feel for ya.
Back in 2003 or so, during a January snow storm I rolled over 2.5 times my mini van full of orchids, on my way to Atlanta to deliver them. Luckily I was not hurt, and before the trooper even had my license I had 7 boxes of orchids in the back of his squad so they would not freeze. Did not even get a ticket. A thin glaze of ice was the cause.Thankfully the boxes were taped shut due to the weather and after my ST friends in Columbus helped me repot and clean them up I was still able to sell them in Atlanta. The van was totaled, but I rented a car and completed the trip. Would not have been able to do it without the help of my Columbus friends. (a couple of them are forum members) We do wacky things once we get bitten by this obsession. Got to watch the driving though. I can't believe you got a ticket after wrecking the car. One car accident, usually around here for that sort of thing no tickets are issued. Bummer.

Man dude, you have some crazy adventures north of the border...

 

[Clark]

Glad your OK.

Really nice weekend haul!
I'm not understanding the ticket, unless its just about the money.

 

[eOrchids]

Glad to hear you and your orchids came back safely!

Sorry to hear about the car.

 

[NYEric]

Glad your OK.

Thanx, I'm just a little mad about getting a ticket for skidding out on an icy, road! 1/2 mile further the same thing happened to another car except it was totalled, bet they got a ticket too. Now I might have to travel 300 miles to fight it, i.e. it's a nuisance ticket that they expect people not to bother to fight!

'speed not reasonable and prudent'...... not sure you should fight that one considering past vehicular velocities oke: though am glad both you and the car are fine.

by the way, how did you get the plants across the border this time? did you have all the paperwork?

 

[SlipperFan]

Orchid nightmares!

 

[Yoyo_Jo]

Holy cow, you're living on the wild side dude! oke: Becareful. Glad you and the plants are okay.

 

[Heather]

Dear Eric,

Be more prudent. oke:

Glad you're ok - bummer about the ticket tho!

 

[Phragmatic]

I'm glad you made it finally trough the border with the plants and that you are ok after the accident.

 

[NYEric]

Thanx, it was a pleasure to meet you.

Still trying to convey the color of this Phal.

A couple of Hannes and their flavum cousin!

 

[JeanLux]

very cool Hannah P blooms!!! Is the color of the phal much alike the Hanne color? Jean

 

[NYEric]

No, it's an "art shade" between a peach and salmon color, very difficult to capture.
