Thank you, Beckzy, for these wonderful gifts.<BR/><BR/>That said, though, I can achingly feel the absense of the car...so many opportunities are out of reach again.Adam Thorntonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05634565262440008573noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32999748.post-13904165308553334352008-08-26T14:22:00.000-04:002008-08-26T14:22:00.000-04:00Um, Wow!I honestly don't know what to say here...s...Um, Wow!<BR/>I honestly don't know what to say here...sorry? well done? that's funny? thank gods you're okay?<BR/>I'm gonna go with all of the above! How surreal?!<BR/>It's so great that you are able to celebrate all of the positives of the situation. I think sometimes a bizarre shock of an event like that allows for us to connect with people. Weird, but good, kinda thing.<BR/>Thanks for a great story where I could picture everything--the twisted side of me kinda wishes you had been in drag...can you imagine?tanzihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13222930617728241756noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32999748.post-54989158148725708972008-08-26T12:02:00.000-04:002008-08-26T12:02:00.000-04:00You really should submit this to either the paper ...You really should submit this to either the paper or a magazine - it's just that bizarre, and it's just that well-written.

The firemen asked if they could use the brand new jaws of life to open up the dash. We said yes, since the car was a goner by then, anyhow. You should have seen them cheer up then! It was so cute, and somehow gratifying that we'd given them some fun. <BR/><BR/>But yeah, kinda surreal, watching a car you were JUST IN go up in flames...Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32999748.post-10056897404252085152008-08-25T08:52:00.000-04:002008-08-25T08:52:00.000-04:00Cars don't explode around me every day -- thank go...Cars don't explode around me every day -- thank goodness -- so for the most part my days are normal...the the REST of the world who's abnormal and crazy!<BR/><BR/>I wish I could believe that.<BR/><BR/>Thank you for your cardolences.
