Breaking Wind…
No, not that kind of breaking wind. Wind that actually breaks stuff. Like our other Car.
So, if you haven’t been taking notice of the news lately, the mid-west has been battered by some horrible weather. Here in the navel of Kentucky, we had a severe Ice storm about a week ago that looked like this:
The ice lasted a while, and then melted away, causing a soupy uneasiness in the soil. Then, yesterday, it seemed like the gates of hell were opened and a thousand demons ran past grabbing whatever they could.
Well, even that seemed to go away, but it stirred up again and tore the out-building behind our house up into the air and into our car that was parked in the back yard. (If you read this, you may recall last October a drunk driver smashed our other car. See this blog entry ) Here’s the aftermath:
As you can see, in the foreground of the last picture is where the building was supposed to be, and in the background is where it ended up getting caught in the fence. Our poor car was in the middle. I saw the whole thing, while I was talking to my mom. The conversation went somewhat like this-
Me: “Yeah, the wind was bad earlier, but I think it’s dying down.”
My Mom: “Well, that’s good. I was worried about yo-”
Me: “Oh wait, there goes the building. Crap.”
So there it went, and now we find out that to replace the window on the heirloom car (Because it’s been in Traci’s family since it left the factory and was in remarkably good condition until now) is relatively hard to do on account of of cost and rarity of the replacement window. And it seems insurance isn’t going to pay anything to help fix it. Crap x2.
It is Kentucky after all…
