Wow, What A Year!

Oh those holiday season solicitations



They obviously don't mean this to read the way I interpreted it, but I sure can't help but think that this is not a patriotic thing to do.

Happy Hanukkah!

X-Mas gift idea



OK, so it's not sexy, but it's an environmentally responsible way to clean and buying out stores' supplies is going to send a clear message to Arm & Hammer not to pull the product.

sigh...



Last night on the 210, as an accident up ahead was slowing traffic to a halt, I saw too late that the guy in front of me had already come to a complete stop. I slammed my brakes but just skidded right into him, my airbag deployed and the front of my car was crushed and smoking. I walked away fine -- my left wrist and right knee hurt but not badly enough to justify an ER visit -- the dude I hit was even more fine and his car was even more fine. Not really sure how that happened but if you're going to hit a car from behind I highly recommend hitting an SUV.

It was immediately clear to me that my poor little car was totaled and was not going anywhere so I had to abandon it in lanes, as they say. I grabbed my laptop and my favorite hat (priorities, hello,) threw on the hazards and made it through what was at that point a parking lot of cars to the side of the freeway. 10 or 15 minutes later, though, traffic had cleared up and CHiPs hadn't arrived yet so cars were whizzing by my car, some swerving to miss it at the last moment. Then the inevitable happened: a car slammed right into mine at what sounded like top speed. I just heard the crash and saw my car spinning around, glass and metal flying everywhere, but didn't ever see the car, which somehow kept driving.

sigh.

Hmm, maybe saying I walked away from the car in the condition you see it in below (Unbreakable, anyone?) would make a better story...
