Thanks DR Jennifer.  We aren't sure she has a license.  It really was shocking she didn't run away.  I know she felt bad about it.

Can't you call the police if the person doesn't show you their registration?  And if someone doesn't have a license they shouldn't be speeding.

She is required to have her license with her. Couldn't you get another car/loaner to continue your trip?

At least we have a second parking spot we rarely use.

Good Morning - tidying up the apartment and heading out for a bike ride this morning.  That's about it

Lots going on here at HHW.

Sorry to hear about the car thing, but -- two weeks to get an appraisal??? Because of Covid? I've always just driven up to the body shops and gotten one on the spot. That's just routine, at least around here.

Well, she could have ditched us right from the beginning and didn't.  I wouldn't want her arrested.  Calling the police only takes them away from more important business and doesn't change our outcome regarding our insurance.  If she doesn't have insurance we will pay our deductible & our insurance company will pay the rest.  Hopefully our premiums won't go up.

Even if there was a place near us to get a loaner car we had no place to leave our car to be fixed.

I know.  That is what we expected to do.  Our first surprise was that we couldn't use the body shop at the dealership.

I am guessing it is because of covid.  Stressed people having more accidents?

We looked into renting a car in Chicago and were shocked at the cost.  The cost to begin with to park a car in a city hotel is high.  We decided to forget it and took the train from the airport to the hotel.

I know people who normally rent cars when they go to LA and did without for recent visits.

Keith got an ok from the insurance company to go to the dealership.  We have an appointment tomorrow morning for an appraisal.  I hope we can then get the work done sooner than later.

And now, I'm off to bed.  Hopefully, the meeting about my office's move goes well.  We were told that it shouldn't take the full hour that was scheduled, so that's good.  We'll see if that turns out to be true.

Have a good day, all!

The meeting went well enough.  We're moving on Wednesday, so things have to be boxed up by then.  I hate moving, but at least it's really only about hald a dozen boxes, and a bunch of personal stull that I'll take home.

By the bye...

I did watch Georgy Girl last night, and loved it. Lynn Redgrave is phenomenal, as is the rest of the cast. I'm so sorry I didn't see it back in the day. I must find out where and when it played in my town.

I also made it another double feature, by first watching a heretofore unknown to me Amicus thriller, The Psychopath. It's a strange one, and the transfer is the same, with vertical scratches running through it intermittently. But it's entertaining enough, and since it's such a weird one I'm interested in hearing the commentary next time I'm in the mood. I heard the first ten minutes and the guy sounds like he knows what he's talking about.

We have rented a car.  With such a limited selection we are pleased with the Mazda we got.  I can't recognize a Mazda from other cars, and it is black, so I took a photo of the front license plate to keep on my phone ;D

I've spent the day finishing up the second draft of my second Annabelle and Thatch book, and I think it's come out rather well.

DR Jane - was horrified to read what happened to you. I am so thankful it wasn't worse. It could have ended with you being severely injured. But I am sorry that you couldn't continue your trip.

I am getting this error message again when attempting to attach a photo to my post. I know the file is not too big. This is what was happening the other day.

Your attachment couldn't be saved. This might happen because it took too long to upload or the file is bigger than the server will allow.
