#1 Born a couple of blocks north of there on Lake Shore Drive.
Had my ~~best~~, ~~favorite~~ a car accident at Soldier's Field.
Driving an inter-company mail route, southbound in fast lane 2 of 6 southbound. Green Maverick cuts left across 6 southbound lanes right in front of me. I'm driving a heavy Oldsmobile station wagon. I swerve to the left, spinning, and hit the Maverick in the trunk with my backend.

#2 I crush the trunk and dust goes flying.

I turn into the SF parking lot and there's a tactical defensive driving traffic cop in the lot watching the whole thing.

Two Asians [Japanese] driving the Maverick pull in behind me and get out yelling at each other and trying to get into the crushed trunk.

The cop tells me "that's the best collision avoidance driving I've ever seen!" He goes to the Japanese guys and settles them down. One is trying to go back into the southbound traffic and sweep up the dust.

#3 According to the Cop, these two guys were taking Grandma's ashes to the airport for burial back home.

The dust was from the urn in the trunk I shattered.

#6 yelling at each other and trying to get into the crushed trunk

"You had to put grandma in the trunk!"

"Because you couldn't be bothered to hold her... playing with your nintendo doing nothing!"
