Its freakin COLD

I love my toasty new home! This morning when I left work it was -4F without windchill...it was so cold (your cue to holler "How cold was it?") that my breath in the car literally froze into eensy weensy little snowflakes. I've never seen that before. Rather cool actually.

After work this morning I went to pick up the new car from the glass shop and had a great surprise--the glass man waived the entire $100 deductible because he felt bad that we had to deal with vandals breaking all the glass in the car so soon after hitting a deer. Cool eh? Judy was going to cover that cost anyhow, but was great news anyhow, since she needs the money for her move anyhow. For those of you who don't know, Judy'd husband used the car on an overnight trip and left it at a park and ride. During the night vandals smashed the windshield and all four door windows. They didn't take anything, just smashed up the glass and that of two other cars and left. Great holiday fun right? Oh well, their car-ma will bring them bad karma eventually. The glass man, in contrast, just got a good boost up on his good karma or car-ma. *grin* The bonus in it all is that the old windshield was hazy for some reason and it wouldn't wash off, so the glass could have used replacng anyhow. Now to dig up a hood so the front end damage can be repaired....

*lol* It sounds from the timestamp that you were at work. No, I wrote it at home when brain addled after four 12 hour shifts in a row. Besides, work has been crazy lately--no time to pee, let alone blog.

How is life down south? Did the latest storm swamp you guys?
