Update on the accident…

Just a brief update on the truck situation.  My insurance company is fighting me on paying for some things because I didn’t call the police after the accident.  No matter that I was in the middle of nowhere in the pouring rain and trying to figure out what to do.  I guess it’s comforting on some level, to know that insurance companies everywhere are the same….

In my favour however, is the fact that I’m dating a girl with a sister who is an accomplished lawyer (and who knows the manager of the insurance company I deal with) and who has a brother-in-law who is fairly high up in the police department…

So I’m feeling mostly relaxed. 

In related news, I bought a new truck yesterday.  I’ll write more about that soon, but suffice to say that I’ve been looking for something larger and a bit newer.  Isabel’s friend brings trucks in from the States, and he got me a great deal on a Toyota Tundra.  But since it’s coming in from the States, I won’t take possesion until July.

So ironically, I now own two trucks and have nothing to drive…

    Well Ken, I’m glad you’re okay, but as I was reading this blog, I couldn’t help but giggle to myself as I pictured you grabbing the flashlight, cranking it, and running down the hill. Funny moment! I will be glad to have you home soon WANDA
