Pikachu Amulet

This little guy has been riding around in Lance's various cars since 2000. He has become an amulet. You see, Lance has been in many accidents, both car and motorcycle. But ever since he got this dangling Pikachu, he's been accident free.

That is, until last night. Last night, Lance got in an accident. The other driver had just had his car pelted by eggs (!) and he couldn't see through his windshield, so he ran a red light and hit Lance on the passenger side of the car.

Thankfully, both Lance and the other driver were basically unharmed, which is amazing because both of their cars are in pretty bad shape. I'm a superstitious person, and I think it was Pikachu who helped keep Lance from harm.

The funny part about all this is that Pikachu has been living in my car ever since we got it in July. When we traded in Lance's old car for my new car, we took Pikachu down from the old car and put him up in the new car right away. He never made it into Lance's car. The new car is the one Lance was driving last night. So apparently Pikachu was there for a reason. I had actually thought recently of putting Pikachu in Lance's car so Pikachu could protect him, but I'm glad I didn't.

Once we find Pikachu a new string, he's going to go up in Lance's car and stay there.
