I think I've been sleeping a little TOO soundly lately. See, I need white noise to sleep soundly. In the summer and early fall, it's the air conditioner while in the winter and early spring it's the humidifier.

I was told last week by my neighbors that a 5-car accident happened in the early morning hours and this morning, my wife and father-in-law moved around all the furniture in our guest room including a very-heavy antique bed. Never heard a thing.

Nor did I hear a reckless driver sideswipe my neighbor's car, taking off a side-view mirror, and our car ripping off a panel and leaving several scrapes. I decided to take a page from the book of one of my new favorite shows. The wife was smart and grabbed the digital camera taking pictures of all the damage and part of the tire-tracks in the snow. The snow had melted by the time I got up but I decided to see if I could get the whole scene.

The driver must have been going fast because he left a lot of tire marks - not black tar marks but white, like the pavement was ripped up. I think they blew a tire or something because the car was right around the corner. I was too chicken to go out the first time because some guy was sitting on the corner where the car was smoking a cigarette looking at me funny. I waited until he was gone before I headed out again and I peaked around the corner where a tow truck was picking up the car. Apparently the police already checked out the car this morning. Should be interesting to find out if the person was tanked or not - the tire marks are all swervy.
