I love winter...

...and today is opposite day! Monday after work, I smashed up my Miata. Just another reason to love winter in Wisconsin. It had snowed earlier, then the sun came out, then it got really cold. As a result there was black ice everywhere. Shouldn't have even been driving the Miata, but I had been waiting for my snowtires for the Nissan to come in. They had been on backorder. Apparently you are supposed to order snowtires in summer. Guess when my snowtires came in? Yesterday. One day! Ugh. I will try and post a pic of the Miata. Body shop quote is $2477.

Other than that. Not much going on. Greg and I are in the process of planning Thanksgiving dinner. We are having my brother, Bret over. He doesn't like my other brother's family and I don't like getting together with all of those people either. So, just the three of us. Should be pleasant.

What happened in the accident? Were you hurt at all? Your fault or someone elses? How bad is the Miata? Got any pictures?

Move to Arizona, I hear they don't get snow there....

Actually, they do get quite a bit of snow in northern Arizona, around Flagstaff and towards the Grand Canyon. However, southern Phoenix doesn't get much snow...although you have to like 115 degrees in the summer time.

I DO like 115 in the summertime. I just can't handle the dryness. I need humidity, but with warm, himidity comes the bible-belt. Scary!
No, I wasn't hurt. I hit an ice patch and lost control. Came to rest up against a guardrail.
I'm going to try and get pics from my insurance guy.
