Arghh!

Today on the way to work, a big ugly chevy cut me off. This is no unusual occurance... what was unusual was the stone that came flying back and chipped my windshield. Right in my line of vision. All that windshield, and where does the rock go? My line of vision.

On the good side, it really could've been worse. The chip is a little bigger than a centimeter, and isn't really "spider webbing" on me. I called State Farm from the road after it happened, and they are sending a repair team to fill it while I'm working. Very efficient. It won't cost anything, since we're having it repaired, not replaced. Replacement would be nice, but it's a $500 deductable. Ouch. As if car insurance isn't expensive enough. Anyway...

I have a story to tell. I'll wait till I get home to unleash that one...

Later.

Yeah, that stinks...

I was in an accident once, I got rear-ended so hard the guy that did it hit his head on the windshield and was knocked out. There were a bunch of witnesses, but when I went after his insurance company, they said that he blamed me, and they stood by their client. I only had liability insurance, so my company wouldn't pursue him. I ended up getting nothing, and he got off scott-free. The moral of the story is: have full coverage.

The true moral of the story is that insurance is a giant corporate scam that screws over the American people almost as badly as the government.

What am I, Hyde? Pass the pipe, Cheech!
