Veterans Day 2008

Thank you for all you do. It is one of my greatest regrets I couldn't do more.

To those about to rock, we salute you.

Thank for your service, all veterans.

crash II

It was my neighbor's drunk daughter who hit me. She doesn't want to involve insurance. They want to have some mobile dent repair guy fix it. I will take his estimate and get two of my own.

I have this uneasy feeling they think it's going to be some $100 fix and they will be done with it. I don't think it's going to be that easy. Time to get estimates tomorrow....

If anything I have a saved voicemail message with her admitting fault...

Ugh, I hate stuff like this. As much as I hate 3 paragraphs of my writing all starting with the same letter.

crash

A guest at my neighbors backed their SUV into me. First someone 'keys' the Lexus and now the Acura gets a bumper remodel.

Since they didn't leave me a note, I left my neighbor one. We spoke this morning at like 0650 and she assures me it will get taken care of.

One time, I hit someone in a parking lot, it cost me $3,300. My entire savings at the time. I had moved and didn't really take care of my personal business that well and not receiving any car insurance bills I had lapsed and was without coverage. Better to have found out that way than hitting someone on the freeway and totalling my car and killing someone. What a "lesson" that would have been.....

All I know is my car better get fixed and I shouldn't be the one to pay for it. She did try saying it was the result of a poor parking job but I countered that with "and if I had been parallel parked behind you?"

I hate little crappy things like this. They always seem to grow and snowball when you don't want them to.

SUN??day in SUN?? Diego

I hate this wind and rain. I left the Pacific Northwest for that specific reason, to get away from such nonsense. I even remember a Scripps HR woman telling me, "We pay you in sunshine," to explain the low wages here for nuclear medicine. What crap. I do still live in San Diego right??

Beyond that I spoke for 20 minutes in church today about prayer and the answers to prayers. It went well, but I could have spoken even longer.

I want the sun back!!

I will never get tired of cinnamon bears

That was true before and it is true still. Even after I've eaten 1/4 pound of them for "lunch."
