This is a time of celebration, so sit still and be quiet.

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!

Ugh ita, yeah, that's just not a good place to be, after an accident like that.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Congrats on the new place, sumi! Good luck moving.

Winning would be a nice bright spot for him in what must have been a really really crappy month.

That's really sweet.

I can't even imagine the sort of space they're in right now--my sister didn't say who was at fault in the accident. I...that doesn't come off in the wash. Whoa.

Yikes is right. Ugh. Poor all of them!

Beautiful photos!

Ugh bad accident!

That's all I got for Saturday.

I haven't trusted science since I saw the film "Flubber."

Anyone have experience with Geico as an insurer? Preferably home insurance, but I'd appreciate any stories.

We have them for car insurance and they've been great. They have a really well run and helpful roadside service (which I've had to use multiple times, including getting broken down in Bakersfield with my phone running out of power).

Also, when the current car was out of action for four months they were super accommodating about changing our policy so we had a minimal payment and then just changing it back when the car was running again. That was something they suggested which saved us a good chunk of change we needed for car repairs.

So their customer service is excellent.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

I have them for car insurance too, and they've been efficient and pretty helpful, even when other parties were being time-consuming. The very first claim I had with them in CA went wrong (took them way too long to authorise the garage to start work), but once I stomped and yelled they covered an extra month of rental, and I haven't had problems since. This last totalling was very well-handled. I called them first after the accident, and they walked me through everything.

I know I'm not the one who asked, but I just switched to Geico b/c Progressive was gouging me (seriously, I saved over $250), so I'm glad to hear that.

Great, thanks to both of you. Our insurance quotes for the house were a little sticker-shocky, so we're looking at other companies.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

I had choir this morning, did all the errands, and it is SO BEAUTIFUL out, but I had to come inside, and...now it's been an hour and I'm stuck to the sofa. I guess I should put in laundry if I'm not going anywhere.
