First Scrape

It was inevitable: Billy had his first bumper-to-bumper contact with another car but thank God it was just parking lot stupidity, no one was hurt and hopefully there's no damage. I sent him to the grocery store for kitty litter and after a long period of time, he called to say he'd scraped someone's bumper and the police were coming.

The police! For scraping a bumper?

What happened? Billy chose to park in a spot where a parked SUV was already encroaching into the slot. Why he kept trying to park is probably due to miscalculation or carelessness or something. Anyway, he scrapes the side of the SUV. Some people passing by claimed to be the owners of the car and said if he'd give them $100, they'd forget the whole thing. He claims he wasn't taken in by that but went into the store to get the money anyway.

Thankfully, in the meantime, the real owner showed up and called the police. She told Billy later she'd done it because she wasn't sure if she was going to have a hard time dealing with him. Whatever.

The moral of this story is: don't park where someone is already encroaching and certainly don't park next to a new car!

I don't know what will happen next. The woman is out getting estimates.

To his credit, Billy thought to take pictures of the damage with his PDA. Now he needs to applying his thinking and good judgement to before the fact!

Major whines of the day:

There is too much freaking spam to delete! I hate spam, it wastes my time having to get rid of all the crapola! Why do I only have this problem with MT? Grrrrrr!

It's too freaking hot! I am so done with summer!

Three For Thursday:

::...under my skin"::

Onesome: Under-- Water? Have you ever gone scuba diving? Any interest?...or does that sort of thing just not work for you?

I've never gone scuba diving and I might be interested but I'd have to know how much the oxygen tank weighs. I can't carry weight on my back or shoulders anymore. Maybe I'd be better off snorkeling.

Twosome: my-- gosh, it seems to have been hot since forever! How are you doing with the weather this Summer?

See my major whine today.

Threesome: skin-- Do you 'skin' your site? What styles do you prefer when you have the option at someone's place? Simple? ...or loaded with graphics?

I don't 'skin' my site and I sort of prefer a simple look when I'm reading other blogs.
