A very tired day, after an unexpected late night last night.
I was preparing for bed, walking thru my place and turning off lights, making sure locks were set, and closing blinds - when I was closing the vertical blinds of my livingroom open glass doorway to my deck, I noticed a black/navy shortbed truck, like a Toyota speeding thru the parking lot in my community...it was travelling fast and seemed to either overcompensate a corner...or the driver hesitated as it was looking back...and slammed sideways into 4 parked cars, making them look like dominos, expensive dominos (2 mercedees, 1 BMW, and 1 VW Jetta - not mine). The car stopped for a moment and then just gunned it, skidded away - a hit and run.
I was like, wtf? I slid open the glass door to my deck and stepped out to see if anyone else witnessed this, sure enough...there was a tow truck out there (these assholes who prowl around and tow away cars who don't have authorized tags - they are ruthless) - I yelled out to them if they saw that...they were like, yea. I asked them to call the police.
I went downstairs to talk with the tow truck drivers as we awaited for the cops to arrive, it was freezing out - and took 20 minutes for a squad car to come and investigate (suprised at such a slow response). After giving my eyewitness details, I headed off to bed.
Was a chilly morning - headed into the office for a rather uneventful day, suprized as the lack of drama - and well needed break from it. Sailed thru the day and suited up for a really chilly evening of frozen hot dog leg and frozen fishstick finger action - biked out to Leesburg again, was able to get past a few icy bridges, loving my hand warmers in my gloves (you break them open, they last about 4-6 hours). Came back and drove home to a night of family phone calls and little tv. I put the hand warmers in my PJ pockets when I get home, kept me warm for a few more hours.
More snow coming on Friday, ho hum.
