Andy I think I'm gonna sit this GTG out. Not feeling too up for going anywhere tonight. Not really sick just lazy and not wanting to drive a truck with bald tires when there's a chance of snow.

Evening guys.
That is OK Pete because I will not be going either because today when the wife was out shopping in Wallingford some jack a** plowed into the drivers door when the van was parked.
No note or anything.
The door at least opens but I would not try to open the window.

That sucks Andy. I once watched a guy back out of a space next to my old ranger and cave the side of the body. At least no one got hurt.

Jim she checked with the store and all the outdoor cameras were aimed at the sidewalk and entrance to the store - nothing in the parking lot

Last storm we got I was waiting in line for fuel at First Fuel over in North haven and I watched some girl in an Altima back into a 7.3 Superduty.

She got out like she was all pissed off at the guy in the SD looked at her bumper looked at his and went back to her car. I pulled off to the side and gave the guy in the 7.3 my name and # in case she decided to try to say he ran into her.

BTW: What store, Andy? That is case of the year for Wallingford PD. There's no real crime to chase here so they'll be all over that.

Kohl's doesn't have a multitude of cameras on their parking lot???

I call BS. They just don't want to get involved.

Let me check into who does their corporate security consulting. Dollars to doughnuts EVERY one has the same basic loss prevention budget and measures.

And now I go to take a shower and my wife left a glass vial of hair stuff on the shelf in the shower that I bumped. It fell and shattered into a million shards and quickly ended my shower as I stood frozen trying to avoid slicing my feet in the shower.

Waiting for it to dry overnight so I can shopvac the shower floor in the am. I'm sending her to bed without her snack to avoid any further damage for the day!!! ARRRRGGGG

A friend of mine claims Ford and Toyota both got bail out money. Said it was in some of the leaked documents on Wikipedia leak. I still haven't seen it so I don't believe it.
