GOOD LORD. I'm out and about for the evening, and all HELL breaks loose here!So much to respond to. To do it right, I'd have to go back and read the last five pages again! I just couldn't stop and post replies -- had to read on to see what in the HELL was going to happen next.Suffice it to say...VIBES to ALL! But certainly...especially...DRs vixmom, Jeanne, John G., and everyone else to whom anything happened, even if it was just a close call or whatever. Yikes!
DR vixmom, you must get the DVD of the 1959 Li'l Abner film!
Finished and submit my new play to the Summer Shorts Series of one-act plays her in Southern Florida. Keeping my fingers crossed it gets chosen. It is called "Becoming Tab Hunter"

VIBES TO YOU DR JEANNE~~~~~~~I had a very bad case of the chicken pox when I was a kid. I want the shingles vaccine. My doctor didn't want to give it to me last time I asked because she thought I should wait until I'm a little older I think I'll talk to the pharmacist. They can also give the shots

Some people feel that every day is crazy-driver day, but in my stomping ground some days are worse than others. After seeing one incident after another, plus one totally out-of-it pedestrian, this was the finale: I was walking out of the drug store toward my car when I saw a new Mercedes back into a new Lexus SUV, which was parked. CRUNCH! And the Mercedes driver was starting to drive away! I couldn't believe it! I pointed to the Lexus, saying, "You just hit that car!" The Mercedes didn't stop. I continued pointing and saying, "You just hit that car!" The Mercedes stopped, and a man in his sixties, with a long, grey ponytail calmly got out and asked, "Did I hit something?" "Yes!" I said, "You just backed into that car!" A woman then got out of the SUV and looked at the damage. I was surprised there was so little--it was really just a scratch, but a loooonnng one. I left them to work it out among themselves, but I have a hunch it's that the woman's car, that she's a housekeeper or nanny entrusted with the family car. In any case, it's up to them.At least the guy stopped. Just yesterday, my friend Margo called me and said that she was hit yesterday late in the afternoon at an intersection and the guy who hit her car just took off! It was getting dark, so she couldn't really get a description or a license plate. No one around her stopped to help, either. She did call the police but they didn't even want to write up a report because of no witnesses. Vibes to George's friend Margo.

Could he actually not have noticed? In some cars I think that's possible, but I'm not sure why he backed up at all, since he was facing the right way. He wasn't even legally parked, which may be a clue.
