Here's some followup information on the car accident.

First of all, I called the woman who was in the Suburban that got hit yesterday and left a voice mail message. Her husband called me back about an hour later and said she was sleeping. They had been at a hospital until 1 in the morning and doctors thought she might have some inflamed discs in her neck so she'd be wearing a neck brace for a couple weeks. He said he appreciated my calling and I told him I hoped she got feeling better soon.

Today, I got a call back from the insurance estimator on my car. She said it came real close to being a total loss- like within $100! But, in the end, the owner of the body shop (a friend of my brother and my dad) said he could do the work within the amount they estimated. The repair will involve replacing the hood, the radiator, the condenser, both headlights, both fog lamps, the bumper, the stuff behind the bumper, and repairing and repainting the fenders.

She says I'll probably get the car back Monday, 11 July.
