Daniel--Thank jeebus you and Andi are safe, but what a huge bummer.
Well, lady, I must say-- You're my kinda stupid.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.

Yup, it's chow time for the pups.
eta: it's interesting to see which of them are really people oriented and which are food motivated, etc.
This is the best marketing tool EVER.

I'm watching the Rachel Maddow Show, and a little while ago she read some of the answers from a survey of her viewers on what they think should be President Obama's first priority in office. Apparently, one person responded that Obama needs to ban all forks and spoons and replace them all with sporks. So fess up, who e-mailed the Rachel Maddow Show?

All is well that ends in pizza.
The cop who came to investigate my car just came back. Officer Harmon.
It turns out that they found the two people who were in the car, and one said the other one was the driver, so the police arrested him/her, brought them down to the station and got a spanish interpreter. When that person realized how much trouble he was in, he confessed the whole revealed the other person was the driver.
The cops went back and arrested the other person, got a blood alcohol count of .16 (!) and the driver is in jail for drunken driving, hit and run, etc. Also got a couple of tickets.
It also turns out the driver knows the owner, but may not have had permission to drive the car. The owner will have to come down from 30 miles north of here to get the car from impound.
Officer Harmon says the car seems to be insured, so our insurances will have to work it all out.
Meanwhile, my insurance wants me to leave the car where it is out front until they can get an adjuster there Monday or Tuesday, and Officer Harmon says OK.
Meanwhile Craigslist ahoy!

Here's hoping for a big fat insurance check, Daniel.

Daniel! That sucks and I'm so glad you weren't in the car.
My favorite part about the Spork Conspiracy is when Rachel said that if there were too many Spork related posts she would put a stop to it.
She knows her audience.

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l
Glad you're alright, Daniel, and hope the insurance comes through.
Hee. I just checked the weekly synagogue email newsletter. Most weeks, the food after the service (usually cookies or something like that, sometimes bagels or pita and hummus or tuna and whitefish and egg salad platters) is sponsored by someone in honor of something -- like, someone's birthday or someone who just had a new baby or got a new job or whatever. This week, a few people are sponsoring it in honor of the Phillies. And it's going to be soft pretzels and Tastykakes.

oh joy! Oh Rapture ! I have a brain!
Well, it sucks that the car was demolished, but it looks like everything is going as best as can be hoped for

{{{Daniel}}} I'm glad you were not in the car. Good luck finding another car at a good price.

(((Sean))) Hi, good to see you.
Vortex, that story was heartbreaking.
I swear by all that's ordinary, cars never die on less than 3/4 of a tank of gas. That's why my Caprice, Penny, will go forever - with that leak at the top of the gas tank, I never fill it all the way up.
