@moorehn I tried, it didn’t work out — PolitiTweet.org

Honestly, getting into a car crash is the best time I’ve had on Twitter in a while — PolitiTweet.org

Andy (River) Peterson @kansasalps

@binarybits @RachelBLevinson @drgitlin I do feel like I need to care about, like, the stability of the nation-state where I live unfortunately and it’s a lot easier to ignore it crumbling by a babbling brook without cell service — PolitiTweet.org

Andy (River) Peterson @kansasalps

@binarybits @RachelBLevinson @drgitlin Luckily, I don’t have to care about WeWork! — PolitiTweet.org

Andy (River) Peterson @kansasalps

@binarybits @RachelBLevinson @drgitlin Ok maybe not mostly, but at least partially — PolitiTweet.org

Andy (River) Peterson @kansasalps

@binarybits @RachelBLevinson @drgitlin And tbh... mostly upset that I’m going to be able to access twitter for the next few days. Was very much looking forward to being totally offline while DC implodes. — PolitiTweet.org

Andy (River) Peterson @kansasalps

@binarybits @RachelBLevinson @drgitlin Thanks, and yeah, it is what it is — PolitiTweet.org

@drgitlin @astepanovich @RachelBLevinson Weirdly, I have been given the “HIT THE DEER” advice by multiple officials and towing people at this point? (This is not the only time I’ve swerved to miss a deer and damaged a car, which is a risk of my devotion to scenic byways) — PolitiTweet.org

Andy (River) Peterson @kansasalps

@ChloDubs Thanks! Grateful for everyone’s kind thoughts — PolitiTweet.org

Andy (River) Peterson @kansasalps

@petridishes Thanks! Yeah, it was definitely not the kind of adventure day I had planned, but could’ve been worse — PolitiTweet.org

He also suggested some local swimming holes and generally kept my spirits up, which checks out with my general experience with tow truck drivers being incredibly caring people who do their best to help people having bad days. — PolitiTweet.org

One final shoutout: Owen at Valley Towing in Woodstock was not only patient while I cried on the phone to my mom, but walked me through the insurance things I need to do, and is letting me hang until I can get my butt back to DC. — PolitiTweet.org

Andy (River) Peterson @kansasalps

@astepanovich @RachelBLevinson @drgitlin Thanks, feeling very grateful to all the emergency response folks and my online crew for caring so much about my wellbeing — PolitiTweet.org

Andy (River) Peterson @kansasalps

@alymaybe Thanks! — PolitiTweet.org

Andy (River) Peterson @kansasalps

@sethdmichaels Thanks! — PolitiTweet.org

Andy (River) Peterson @kansasalps

@RachelBLevinson @drgitlin The officer was pretty nice about it, all things considered — PolitiTweet.org

Andy (River) Peterson @kansasalps

@RachelBLevinson @drgitlin Apparently it’s usually safer? And because I didn’t actually hit the deer, there’s no evidence beyond my word that there was a deer so “improper driving” 🤷‍♀️ — PolitiTweet.org

Andy (River) Peterson @kansasalps

@thatdarongirl Thanks, all in all, I was very lucky. Just mourning the car and my hiking and audio plans — PolitiTweet.org

Andy (River) Peterson @kansasalps

@JakeLaperruque Thanks, I’m fine! Other than mourning the likely loss of my beloved car — PolitiTweet.org

Andy (River) Peterson @kansasalps

@drgitlin Fun fact I learned today: I got a citation because I *didnt* hit the deer, but wouldnt have if I did — PolitiTweet.org

Andy (River) Peterson @kansasalps

Also: wear your seatbelts, I’d be in much worse shape if I hadn’t. And huge thanks to the Fort Valley emergency services for being my literal heroes, including helping me get towed, dealing with my minor cuts and bruises, and reminding me that you should always just hit the deer https://t.co/CDNOR3r6qw — PolitiTweet.org

@alymaybe I’m ok, just shaken and sad about my car — PolitiTweet.org

Andy (River) Peterson @kansasalps

@cFidd She literally just hit 100,000 miles and I am weirdly emotional about losing her — PolitiTweet.org

Andy (River) Peterson @kansasalps

I am literally the reason there is not an #AtTheTable live show tonight, but you should all listen to his podcast https://t.co/K2rffaM4hy — PolitiTweet.org

Andy (River) Peterson @kansasalps

I am also blessed with a great friend in @JaredRizzi, who is picking me up because my insurance said they couldn’t get me a rental car until tomorrow at the earliest — PolitiTweet.org

Andy (River) Peterson @kansasalps

(I am fine, as is the deer that I swerved to miss) — PolitiTweet.org

@DrMRFrancis Never consistently lived in an area where that was an option, but sounds delightful! — PolitiTweet.org
