off to be punctured
Dec. 30th, 2004 08:22 amOff to my annual physical... it was supposed to be in July, around my birthday, but with travel to the Arctic and Spain the only appointment I could get was between Christmas and New Year's Day. So, I'm going to work today. In a cranky mood, generally... it has been a stressful week. Or as someone remarked to me yesterday, "it seems like you are having lots of emotional issues with your sweeties, or at least the ones who are local." True enough, and I'm sure my blood pressure this morning will reflect that (wry grin).
At least I'll get my now-overdue FAA flight physical done...
[Update: yes, the BP was elevated... 138/98 at first, calming down to a more-typical 128/90 later. Otherwise... EKG was healthy, vision fine, hearing improved (?), lung capacity average, lung *force* far above average, and I've lost three pounds since last time. ]

car insurance question
Dec. 30th, 2004 07:26 pmGrumble... the adjuster finally looked at my Mustang convertible after a minor fender-bender two months ago. There was a broad dent on one side, the bumper and quarter panel and hood need to be repainted... plus some interior sheet metal that is not structural, but hard to reach. They claim the car is worth $3005, while repairs are estimated at... $3011. Totaled, supposedly. They're offering to let me keep the car for a smaller amount, but I'd have to get a salvage title.
Does anyone have any suggestions for fighting this? The other guy's insurance company has accepted responsibility... but I'm getting apparently screwed over anyway, just differently. Can a car that is declared officially worthless (salvage title) be insured afterward? Should I just take the money and try to find another 15-year-old convertible? Sigh...
