That is understandable. Glad it wasn't a long ride.
I had planned to do stuff today but our air quality is officially unhealthy and Doug stuff is physically challenging so I think that I will not.
You have the emotional maturity of a blueberry scone.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
Jacqueline's father's house caught on fire last night. There's major fire damage, water damage and smoke damage. All the stuff she's been sorting carefully since his death is probably lost.
It's a significant part of her and her two brothers' inheritance and it's pretty fucked right now.
And honestly, with all the wildfire damage and my experience with insurance companies during disaster, I don't expect there to be any expeditious payout on the claim.

Electrical fire started by the AC. JZ's mom was staying there this week with the AC on and smelled something funny (burning plastic-y). They called the realtor, she had an electrician come out to check it. He said turn off the AC which was getting strained with all the smoke from the wildfires. But I guess the fire might have already started? Unsure. But they do know it started with the AC.
I can't believe they actually had somebody out to look at it and still couldn't prevent this.
I think those are the correct details. Jacqueline can report on it better. She's meeting with the insurance agent now.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
How awful.

Sophia -- You can go into the app to rate your Uber driver. Report his damn ass. I say this as a driver with lots of experience. They know what they have to do per company directions, and I doubt they're going to be casual about it.
That said, 15 minutes is supposedly acceptable if you yourself are masked, since it's the accumulation of virus particles (AKA the inoculum, my favorite new word) that seems to be the most important factor in getting sick.

Timelies all!
I'm sorry about JZ's dad's house.

Oh, David. What a terrible blow. I'm so sorry.
