Ski racer child was going to do me a favor this morning, let me sleep in and take her brother to his school. She had to drive by there anyway today.
.

Since I slept, my car remained in the driveway.

It's only money

The eyewitness, boy, says she was not going too fast. In fact he thought she had hit the garbage can.

The body shop man said to me about my SUV, "Well, there's not much damage in any one spot."
.
.
.
.
"The problem is, there are a lot of panels here, and those fender moldings probably cost $200 each. I'd say it will cost about $1,200 - $1,500."
.
.
.
That confirms the dealer estimate of $1,300.
.
.
.
.
Mini van has about $500 - 900 in damage - I stopped at the school to look.

No one got hurt.

But it was in my driveway!!!!!

That much money for in my driveway?
.
.
.
Ins agent and I had a talk, I'll pay for it, rather than have the ins cost go up by 2,000 a year.
.
.
.
Oh well, It's only money.

"Just go and have a nice vacation, forget about it, enjoy your children."

This is what I have been told by assistant and others.

They are all right

It still smarts.

Ins agent suggested I should hire her out on the cruise ship to do laundry or something.

Maybe fish for food?

I told him I was thinking of feeding her to the fish.

Then we laughed.

And now I go back to packing.
