Random thoughts on the way home...
Again, a bunch of stuff has played out in my life. But the task at hand is the header. I was thinking (no idea why this thought was there) about bums. I think there was a song on the radio. Yes, that's it. Everlast doing "What It's Like". Get a job, you fucking slob. That line. I get chided for my donations. At least when there were bums around me visibly. In NY, that is. Here, they are not panhandling. But I almost always gave, and felt a little like a sucker when the others I was with would make some lame-ass comment. Something along the lines of "What a sucker!" or "He probably makes more than you!". Maybe. But on the off chance he doesn't? Or on the off chance he was once better off and this is his true living? I'll give. I don't care if it takes a thousand losers to get money to one legit bum. If I make some positive change in someone's life, isn't all the other crap worth it? I think so.
Besides, if you believe in this sort of stuff, this is definitely a karma thing.
And an update on the accident, with the facts from the Po-Po report being included. Some of this is redundant, but it all flows better if I recap a little. So bear with me, pretty please. My Jeep was rear-ended on Tuesday the 16th of this month. Probably totalled, through the eyes of the insurance company. Downtown, at 5 PM almost on the button. By a drunk. Who didn't even own the vehicle he was driving. A new Ford Explorer. The owner was in the vehicle. Part of her was in the front passenger seat at the time. Part of her was hovering over the driver's seat. She wasn't a witness to the accident, because from her vantage point she couldn't see the road. You get it now? I got rear-ended because some drunk chic wanted to blow some drunk guy in the middle of the day while driving. Been to the doctor a couple times. I do indeed have some bad neck and upper back pains. I am currently on 3 medications. Up from 2 immediately after the accident. So you could say things are getting worse. Her insurance company is finally coming out to see the Jeep tomorrow between 8:15 and 8:45 AM. More time lost from work. At least things are progressing.
And my folks are coming to visit on the 11th. For about a week. I know they are seeing my brother. It baffles me. They swear they would do anything for their kids. As long as it's nothing that requires them to NOT deal with one of them. Sheesh. But, I will be with them Monday through Thursday. Should be a good time, regardless. No brother talk. Not one word. I hope.
OK, I am off to finish doing some cleaning. Nite, kids.

I know I will be OK. Time will heal these wounds, for sure. It's just the meantime that kicks my ass. Thanks for the comments. And for having a site worth commenting on.
