When Life Takes Precedence

Imagine driving down the street. Sunday afternoon, a beautiful afternoon, taking the family to Barnes & Noble for magazines. Things couldn't be better. Now, imagine a huge tree limb falling on your car. What are the odds of that actually happening? For me, it's a given. Yeah, that was last Sunday. No injuries, not even a broken window. But my poor car is dented and scraped, with woodchips under the antenna and the roof rack. So now comes the task of dealing with the insurance company and The State. The less-limbed tree hangs over a state road and hopefully the state will do its part and pay up.

Needless to say that this is taking up free time. But no complaints as long as things work out.
