Catalyst Day 1 – Prelude
So I will catch up on some Catalyst posts this weak so hopefully you can glean a little of the knowledge, inspiration, and encouragement we did last week. However, the report wouldn’t be complete without the morning prelude to the day. The accident in our rental car.
However, I will say I can feel a little bit better knowing that it was nearly as bad as their accident. We were rollin down Peach Tree Industrial Boulevard (and GA has got to get more creative with their street names…every other one has Peachtree in the name) at 0-dark-thirty in the rain. We needed some breakfast and decided to hit the left hand turn lane to roll through Chick-fil-a.
We…err…I (yes, I was the lucky guy at the wheel) had to turn across 3 lanes of traffic. The traffic was fairly heavy, and the 2 lanes closest to us stopped to let us through. Just as I was slowly pulling across the 2 lanes, a lady came barrelling through the third lane and took off our front bumper.
As I stood in the rain by her car, the lady didn’t even look at me let alone roll down the window. Cop came. After all was said and done, I’m at fault and got a ticket for failure to yield on a left. Rental car company said just bring the bumper back with us. Wasn’t sure how we’d manage that since it’s larger than the car, but the thin plastic bumper actually folded quite nicely into the trunk, as you can see below.
And then it was off to our first full day of Catalyst conference speakers in the Gwinnett Arena…
