Dmitri's Bucket of Projects

On her way down to the city to pick me up, so that I could drop her off at JFK, my girlfriend was in an accident. Just a few minutes into the trip, some moron decided that the solution to sun-glare was to speed up and change lanes. She's OK with just a concussion. She was kept over night at the hospital for observation and was released the following day with a neck brace. She was driving my car. I thankfully saw her before I saw it. I'm still in shock when I look at these. And deeply grateful that she is safe.











You'd think that the other driver would be a shoe-in for jackass of the day. Yeah, you'd think that. But, no, humanity is nothing if not amazingly determined to sink to new depths. While my girlfriend lay unconscious and the emergency personnel used the jaws of life to rip off the passenger door to get to her, there was someone else on the scene. Someone who looked at the two bags that had been on the passenger seat but were removed to get to the unconscious beauty. Someone who thought: "hey,.. that's some laptop bag" and "oh, look, a hand bag" then went and took them. The offending driver had poor judgement. But this thief is human garbage.

The contract is signed. They say it almost feels surreal , writing that deposit. Not to me. It felt quite real. I am excited!!!
