CVille folks may have heard this story today about a stolen car which ran off of Rugby Road today and down a hill. The car was going so fast that it skimmed over the roof of one house and crashed into the roof of another. Those that know me well enough to have been to my apartment know that this was the house right next to mine. No one was hurt, thankfully, but the driver of the stolen car did escape. Since this is the second such incident at this T-intersection in a few months, and my house, so I’m told, was hit by a stray car in the early-80s, I’m going back to check the terms of my renters’ insurance. So does a flying car count as an “act of god”? And, does it matter to the insurance company if I call it an act of random happenstance instead?
In other news, I had a wonderful birthday, and thanks for all the birthday wishes (and sonnet)! Been busy working on my longer posts, including a book review, and lots and LOTS of work, which I’ll post pictures from soon. Yay!
I’m a 7th (and final!) year

Wow. I kind of want to hear the conversation between the insurance company and someone’s who’s house was hit by a flying car (or the car owner on how it got embedded in a roof).

If I may offer a suggestion? I make flying cars for a living. They’re called hovercraft and they are a blast to fly. Check out:

It’s as close as we’ll get to flying cars for the immediate future. Works for me…
