Car Update


It's been a while since I actually posted anything. It has been busy over the past couple of weeks. And the need for a new car for the wife has increased the urgency for upgrading the MCSE. So I've been spending time reading and playing about with that instead of learning Linux and FOSS related things. Still, M$ pays the bills for now. At least I'll be ready when the times comes that I need to work with FOSS.

But, I digress some here. I just thought I'd mention that my wife's car has been ruled a total loss. It's not worth fixing it since the value of the car is about half of what it would cost to fix the thing. Actually, it's worth less than half. So, now we get to shop for a car about 3 years earlier than we planned. Understandably Cindy isn't happy because we can't go shopping and get what she wants and instead have to get what we can afford. I understand how she feels, before my Impala every single car I ever owned was because I needed a car now. I was hoping to give her the chance to shop around and have fun. But, live throws ya curve balls sometimes and you just have to deal.

Oh, and here we are. It's a little over 1.5 weeks since the accident and the girl who blew the stop and hit Cindy still hasn't filed here version of what happened. Thus holding up the fault ruling and delaying our recovery. To be fair, supposedly she had just gotten her wisdom teeth removed a day or two after the accident and couldn't' talk but still. That doesn't mean she can't type, or write.

So, that's the way of things.
