I am not...I am not the damsel in distress. I am not some case. I have to work this. I've lived in a cave for 5 years in a world where they killed my kind like cattle. I am not going to be cut down by some monster flu. I am better than that. What a wonder...how very scared I am.

I expect this is going to be a question for your insurance agent to answer, alas, because it is so state- and policy- specific. Good luck!

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart

I think the driver/car thing varies by state.

Now tagless for your comfort.

eta: but then, I came from a state with such lax insurance reqs at the time, odds were that most of the other drivers and cars were uninsured and it could be a nightmare. So I'm probably a bad source.

It's confusing--and rental cars are covered on your regular car insurance. But as Theo notes, it is state and policy specific.

I thought it weird because Wisconsin doesn't require proof-of-insurance for car registration. I think it's not until you get in a wreck without coverage that you can get into any trouble.

My poor brain read that as defragmenting the tree. Apparently my subconscious is being taken over by a computer.

We are Buffistas. This isn't our first apocalypse. -- Pix

I'm still in my pyjamas. Oy.

I'm going to Cirque du Soleil with my parents, & then out to dinner. Tomorrow it's a movie with Buffistas, yay!

At some point I will do some writing. And maybe go to the gym, since I can't run outside in this weather. Well, I mean, I could, but I don't like to be soaked all that much.

Muni's shut down? OY. Glad I'm driving, and I have 4wd.

See? I gave everybody here an opportunity to tell me what a bad person I am and nobody did, because I fuckin' rule.

My office is freezing and there is (a) no work to be done, and (b) nobody to either (i) give me some work or (ii) tell me it's okay to go home. Bleargh.

The drive to Matilda's day care this morning was insane -- most of the traffic lights running along the north border of Golden Gate Park were out, and all the eucalyptus trees (and many of the other varieties) had been stripped of all their bark and most of their branches, so the street was hubcap-deep in tree debris (and one Christmas tree that someone had left out on the sidewalk for recycling, snatched up by the wind and dropped in the middle of an intersection).

I'm glad the other localistas are okay, except now I'm worried about how megan's housemate will cope with the deprivation. Maybe he can sneak off to a West Portal coffee house and steal some electricity from them? (Unless the whole neighborhood is dark?)

"I remember when they eventually introduced that drug kingpin who murdered people and smuggled drugs inside snakes and I was like 'Finally. A normal person.'” —RahvinDragand

I presume it's easier to maintain blonde coloring over gray hair than red.

For the average person, I'm sure that's so. For a megabucks A-list movie star who's going to constantly be in the hands of professional hair and makeup people anyway? What's the big deal?

My plan for tonight is to pick up some lobster bites on the way home and hunker down to eat them with cornbread stuffing and watch the new SGA. No real plans for later in the weekend, just continued bookshelf organizing and maybe buying a rug if I can find one that matches Pantone 2705.

I'm glad the other localistas are okay, except now I'm worried about how megan's housemate will cope with the deprivation.

Well, he's supposed to be working from home so I do feel slightly bad.

Maybe he can sneak off to a West Portal coffee house and steal some electricity from them? (Unless the whole neighborhood is dark?)

I'm so sure this is happening as we speak since the lights are on on the avenue. Plus, he can't go anywhere else because according to him the garage won't open manually.
