Glad, of course, that everyone is all right.

Well, we don’t know about the kid’s quality of life at this point.  :)

I so often wonder how any parent deals with this very scenario, when their kid as a new driver so completely blows it. Well, not completely, because we all know that sometimes real tragedies result. It’s almost too much to think about.

I’ve been hit a few times by other [LITERAL] drivers, with harm done only to the vehicles. Each time, I called the other person’s insurance company myself to report it, and had no problem getting them to jump right in and take care of everything so that my own insurance never had to be involved.

Today, of course, is Monday, and for me it must be a productive one.

First on the agenda is taking a couple of hours, hopefully not too much more than that, to run through the keyboard programming just received for Cinderella, and send back a list of things that need a second look by the programmers. This programming is new, and they did a rush job on it for us, and these always need some vetting.

Then, a couple of hours must be spent on one area of the hill out back, getting rid of brambles and little junk trees that are still small enough to be cut down by hand. The next few days could be rainy, and we don’t want the April showers to bring May weeds and other nasty growth any faster than necessary.

Later, trash and recycling must be assembled and taken down to the road. And so it goes.

Finally, tonight is 9-1-1 night, our one planned TV night of the week these days.

Hot snacks will be consumed.

I hope there’s no aftermath, Vixmom. Glad it wasn’t worse.

The air is not to my liking, though. I will leave my mask on.

It is after 10 a.m. here in Johnston SC.

The sun is in its full glory, the sky is blue, the birds are chirping wildly.

All-in-all, one might surmise that spring has finally sprung.

This week, golfers around the world will have their eyes turned toward Augusta GA and The Masters tournament.

My town is no less excited that anyone else.  The Masters brings a lot of business to our County, and even here.  We are less than 30 miles from all the action, and thousands show up and look for accommodations.  Folks around here lease their homes and move to their summer houses if they have them.

I have no idea what this week will bring my way, except the painter who bid on painting the trim all around my house will start at some point this week.  He is bringing his ladders and other gear over tomorrow, and then he will get his permit to work on my house. Yes, they must do that if they run a business.  It costs him about $10 for said permit.

I really need to get myself into an orderly routine of some sort.

i know today is Monday, but that is because yesterday was Sunday.

Truly, I sometimes have to ask my Amazon Echo unit what day it is.

While that's not a seriously bad thing, I think mental awareness of "when" it is ought to be the norm.

Sigh.

TOD:

Only one film comes to mind when I think of a sequel being better than the original:  Godfather II is that film.  One hundred percent better, IMO.  Have never been a fan of The Godfather, but I also cannot resist watching if its playing.  I would never deliberately put in my Blu ray player.  But I always look forward to part 2.  The entire back story with DeNiro is brilliant.

OMG what a story DR VIXMOM.  I was lulled into a false sense of security thinking about the crepes.....and WHAM!

I am glad everyone is okay, but I am sorry about the VIXDAD's locomotor machine.....it's always a chore....to get things fixed.

I don't do horror films, so I cannot speak to the innumerable sequels to Halloween and the Nightmare on Elm films.

The Smart Car did well yesterday on the trip to Greencastle - so it will be nice to drive it on those sunny days.

Rainy days will belong to the PT Cruiser.

Oh yes!  I really loved Demetrius and the Gladiators as a sequel to The Robe.  Didn't think it was better than, and don't think it's worse than. It's just not based on a published novel, so it's original and fun, too.

Jack, what on earth will you do with TWO steaks?  Are you cooking for a guest, or will you have the second steak later?

Fortunately neither vehicle was traveling at excessive speed and other than aches and pains and feeling a bit rattled no one sustained any serious injury

I suspect you will have some delayed aches and pains.

The Comcast Technician was most good looking and efficient.  He has been at my house before - although he didn't remember.

I let him go about his bees wax - and about 30 minutes later, I had a cable box and a remote that I can talk to.  It is not the highest of technology though, the first thing I said into it is:  "Wash my car." 

And absolutely nothing happened - so it certainly hasn't been perfected yet.
