Bang-up job

I seem to be the latest victim in the round of car accidents happening to peeps. I got in one this afternoon after work. Everyone's still alive and breathing, though my car is pretty well smashed up and I may have to be shopping for a new one in the recent future.

I had imagined a more traditional first "honey I'm home" greeting for my currently visiting girlfriend (as opposed to "guess why I'm home so early and why I haven't returned with the car"). Well, I guess everyone can't be Ricky Ricardo.

We are also having car issues - one of our cars was stolen last month (not Lucy, thank goodnes - the Grey Baron). We are in the process of replacing him now.

But hey! You're in Buffalo! That means you can buy a new car here: :::link:::

Yayness! :)

Damn that cat's ugly. My car looks more like, um ...

The front of my car is pretty well pushed in. If one imagined a car's hood as its face, its headlights as eyes, and its grill as its mouth, then my car now bears a striking resemblance to a persian cat.
