December 2006

Ok, so this is more than a year back... but it is important and extends into 2007. I pulled out in front of a truck in the car. We had a low speed crunch in which no-one was hurt. Further, only Linda and I were in the car at the time so the girls didn't get the image of a truck barring down on them into their heads. Nice.
Though low speed, the impact bent the 'B' pillar on the car and required major work.

Repair took all of Christmas break and into the new year. So, we rented a van for transport to Whales In Space (WIS). Fortunately, we have maintained expensive auto insurance, and it paid off. Repairs cost us less than $600 out of pocket.

This was a rough start to a year that turned out to be quite stunningly Good, as you will see in subsequent posts. I leave you with a picture taken during WIS at the coast.
