Still - trashing your cars seems a small price to pay for all the other good stuff in your life.

Just for a refresher, this is my favorite radar link.

It's like an ugly red boil. A pox on the Cellar.

We raced home ahead of this thing, foolishly thinking we might get the groceries in the house before it really hit... made it to about 5 houses down and a big limb came down and bounced off the front of the car (right front corner - again!). One tiny dent, 2 small scratches. Meh.
Trees down everywhere, and cut hay hanging off the power lines like party favors, it's pretty crazy. Just got power back.

It's a bit freakishly warm here on the west coast where I'm at. The weather is a very nice, dry mid-70's for the 5 day week, and then as soon as the weekend hits the temperature start rocketing up to the mid-high 80's to low 90's. That's hot hot hot when you don't have air conditioning at home and your place is insulated like a garbage bag. When temps get above around 75, heat just begins to build up inside, so that by the time it's 80 outside, it's creepign towards 90 inside. Ugh.
