When things are going well, rely on Mr. Overstreet to fuck it up.

To save time, may I say first that I am NOT injured in any way, shape or form, at least nothing that has shown up in the past four hours.

I say that because of what I'm going to say next; I've had a car accident.

And caused serious damage to my grandmother's Mercury Sable, which was until about 2 PM today the only reliable vehicle on the premises.

I've been ticketed for failure to yield right of way- that's one of the two minimum-penalty ways for cops to say you were at fault in a wreck. Insurance should cover either repairs or paying off the vehicle, except for the $500 deductible.

Unfortunately, to keep my own car insurance in order, I will have to take defensive driving to get rid of the ticket. That will cost $125 before I even take the course- $30 to the State of Texas and $95 for court costs, never mind that there likely won't be a court hearing.

Then the cost for an approved defensive driving course, however much that is.

I don't know how long we'll be without wheels here. I managed to get the orders listed on the WLP Web Glob and

wlp, but it'll be a while before any more go forwards.

Oh well.

Alms... alms for the fucking stupid... alms... alms for the fucking stupid...
