Good Friday,
This should be a quiet time...
Early afternoon - BAAANG!!!
Something banged near our house. I head towards the door, and see someone already ringing the bell.
I open it - a friendly guy from our Parish.
"Excuse me, but I pulled my car into your driveway to turn around and... I hit the garage door."
I walk out to the front of the house - he really did...
I go to check the back door - impressive!!!
How come?
What happened?
Simple - his car hit the front door, the door hit the car inside, the car jumped forward...
Excuse me - our visitor interrupts - we're rushing to church now. After the service, I'll come and explain the situation. We'll cover all costs.
He is right – give God what is divine, what's human may wait a while.
I called the insurance company – to my surprise, they were working (Good Friday is a public holiday).
They recorded an accident report – I added that the matter was critical because my wife has difficulty climbing stairs, so the garage was her only way out of the house.
20 minutes later, a repairman called and said he'd be at our place shortly.
He was – very nice – Czech by birth.
He took a sledgehammer to the front garage door and straightened it enough for me to pull the car out onto the street.
Saturday 7:20 a.m. – two repairmen arrived.
They removed the old door and installed a temporary one. They'll finish this up next week when the shops reopen.
The temporary door, from inside the garage, looks like this...
By the way... that wood smells so good.
Time to go shopping.
Our car was parked outside all night, I walked up, and what did I see?
The windshield was covered completely in shit.
Oh yeah, the news mentioned that the toilet on the spaceship had a problem and... they fixed it.
I wasn't sure whether to wash the window or notify the space agency to secure the ShNA samples.
However, I decided that in the current political climate, it was better to keep a low profile - I washed it, did some shopping, blessed my Easter basket, and I hope to see Easter Sunday.
I wish all the visitors of this blog a joyful and peaceful Easter.
