I called my insurance company to find out what my windshield replacement policy is. Turns out, I don’t have windshields included in my policy. It’s up for renewal in just a couple of weeks, so I asked how much it would cost to add. It ended up being $28/year for both cars. The agent warned me that it doesn’t cover a pre-existingly broken windshield, but if one was to break a few weeks from now it would be covered, as opposed to trying to make a claim on it day one.
Not that either (or both) of my car windshields are broken, mind you. I have a feeling both of them will break soon, though. There are a lot of rocks on the road around here in the winter.
Speaking of winter, four of the next seven nights have lows forecasted below freezing. 28-31°F. Summer is over here.
Yesterday I had a sandwich from Daanen’s Deli for lunch. I tried something new—I had them make a turkey with swiss, lettuce, onions, and jalapeños. It was really good.
Today was blood day again and I just finished mine and I’m sitting at the snack table waiting for Jeff to finish up. Today the blood bank is pretty busy and we couldn’t start at the same timeline we usually.
NASA is 50 years old today!
I went to Higgin’s Point this evening with Kyndall (Lorien’s cousin), to do some low-light photography. I’ll try to post some pictures tomorrow if they turn out okay.
Here’s a better picture to supercede yesterday’s picture post.
Today we had another delivery. I’m still waiting for my bookbinding tools, but my favorite painting came today. It’s by Alfred Gockel:
Sorry about the crappy colors, I took the picture backlit with my new iPhone, it’s not as color savvy as other Apple stuff apparently. I’ll post another picture I took with my nice camera soon.
I posted this picture via my iPhone. It’s of my desktop at work. I love my monitors. I think I may use this feature once in a while, but I don’t like the way it posts the information to my blog, so I still end up editing it, but it works well enough. It didn’t post immediately, but it wasn’t too delayed, either.
The community Messiah choir is starting up again. First practice is tonight at 7pm. I’ll be heading there after work. Here’s to writing off at least one evening every week and several saturdays for the next three months.
I played Stump the Boss today. He usually tries this on me, so I thought I’d get even. He asked for the square footage of a certain area in our building, so I pulled up the plans and found that it was 1066 square feet. When he asked for the answer, I told him the battle of Hastings. He asked “what kind of answer is that?” to which I replied, “ten sixty-six.”
My copy of Wasp Woman showed up today. I can’t wait to watch it.
This morning’s flavor is mandarin orange and pineapple. Yummmm.
We’re having an insane lightning storm right now. If we lose power Lorien will be upset about missing the opening ceremonies of the Olympics.
I’ll be upset I can’t make more smoothies in my new blender.
Today is 08/08/08. It doesn’t matter how you write it, month-day-year, day-month-year, year-month-day, etc, it’s all the same. We only have four more of these dates before they go away for a real long time.
Do something crazy. Leave work early. Eat ice cream for dinner. Enjoy.
