Re: Hey all in storm areas

Hi Jo!
Most of the worst of the storm was north of us here in Dekalb, IL. We were
on the very southern edge and got a bunch of mixed up stuff. It just seems
it couldn't make up it's mind what it wanted to do here. Rain, sleet,
short-term heavy snow, more sleet, more rain. I am thankful for not getting
buried. 20 miles north had 10-12" I hear.

On another note, had a moving vehicle accident with my mobile home! I wasn't
even driving! Accident report says I was hit by a driverless vehicle! A
young man up the street had gotten out of his Corsica with the engine
running for whatever reason. Brake failed somehow and the car began rolling
downhill. A city block later it came to rest right on the corner of my
residence. BOOM!!! Got my attention in a hurry I'll tell you. Car missed my
gas meter by about 2 feet. Cop said I was a lucky guy. Vehicle is insured so
that is not a problem. Nice kid and was really bummed by the whole thing.
Says he just got his license back a couple of days before and figures to
lose it again. Felt a little sorry for him actually. Totaled his car he
wasn't driving and I have only minimal damage that I know of right now. Had
the gas company out to make sure there wasn't any leaks in the line.

On another note, have a bad, bad tooth. Bit down on something 2 weeks ago
and saw the dentist then. He said it was just irritated and would heal in
about a week. Thurs. that sucker hurt so bad that if I could have tore it
out then and there I would have. Called for an emergency appt. and was told
the doc was already gone for the day and they are closed Fridays. So they
called in a script for antib's and I bought some tooth numbing stuff to hold
me 'till Monday morn when I can see him. Made me forget all about the pain
in my back I'll tell you!

Oh, by the way, this is the second time I have had my mobile hit at this
location. Who says lightning doesn't strike twice in the same spot?!
