Folks, I must apologize for my silence these last few weeks. There are a lot of things I could write about right now, but I’m just tired so all I’ll do is fill you in a bit on what has been going on. A week or two before my last entry, Matt had the hood of his car pop open while he was traveling at 75mph on the freeway headed home from his reserve unit. The wind caught the hood and slammed it into the windshield. He wasn’t hurt, but the insurance company called the car a complete loss. Then a few days after the last entry, he was staying at a friend’s house on his drill weekend. He went to open the window and discovered that this one didn’t have counterweights and it slammed back down on his finger. See the x-ray below. He has since had a pin inserted to hold the bones together while they heal.
Then, the remnants of Hurricane Ike moved into the area and through a wierd encounter with the jet stream resulted in tropical storm force winds (with hurricane strength gusts) hitting our area. It took the carport off the house and dropped it on the wife’s car, so we’ve been dealing with insurance companies, too.
