Odds & Ends

Thought I might do some updates on what has been happening with myself.

First off, the whole insurance thing I am still investigating. I finally have an appointment on Tuesday morning to speak with Peter from Darling Insurance, so we shall see what happens from that.

The other news is that my sister was in a car accident on Monday. I got the call from her afterwards when I was at the office. For those who know the local area, you might know the intersection, it took place at Porter Rd and Pontypool Rd where that flashing amber light is. Liz was driving from home to Millbrook for a dental app't when the car travelling from the North (from Bethany direction) stopped at the stop sign but decided she had enough time to make it across the intersection, well she didn't. Both of their cars front ends hit, spinning Liz's car around which then hit backends and Liz's car ended up in the marsh. Luckily she was able to get out (with the help of a man who witnessed the accident) without any serious injuires, other than a sore and stiff neck. Apparently the other woman (well young lady she is only 24) thought it was a 4 way stop, not a two-way stop. All I can say is that young lady is an idiot and could have killed Liz with her careless driving. She is being charged with failing to yield. The other part is of course, is that the insurance company has now determined that Liz's car is a write off and Liz is worried she won't get much for it. She still had 7 car payments left (it was a 2002 Impala). Liz thinks it is fixable, so she might have quite the fight on her hand with the insurance company. In any case, it could have been much more serious and I am thankful she is ok.

Happy Thanksgiving to all, I hope everyone is doing well and was able to spend time with family & friends this weekend, and well of course eat some turkey. Gobble, Gobble!

As the Bugs would say, thats all folks. More to come later I am sure.
