Well, I finally have a salvage title for the 2013 Nissan LEAF (Actually I dont have the title yet, but I think they mail it to me. We are far from settled with the insurance company for sure. It has been six months since Angie was rear ended. The following chart shows a very sad and disturbing trend. Insurance companies aren't paying out. It should be criminal. I went shopping for a new rear axle so I can get the car driving again. The rear ended axle was so bent, the car couldn't move. The new one with no connecting bits was over a thousand dollars.

Busy Busy Busy. I am working on getting a new strategy on getting stuff done. The busy way isn't very good.

I get to watch scenery more. It helps having another set of eyes on the road and the legitimate crazy drivers.

Yes, I am still taking pictures of large bugs even after living in Georgia for nearly 15 years.
