Ugh...car insurance. Hope you find a good deal!

Speaking of cars, Margaret had yet ANOTHER bad experience with the car the other day. For once it wasn't a flat, but she was on the interstate driving along and the engine cut out completely - dead. She pulled over right away and smoke started POURING from under the hood. None of us have cell phones (and they barely work anyway), but luckily she wasn't far from an exit (a miracle around here!) and was able to get to a gas station - a girl gave her a ride part of the way - and call Dad.

I would have handled it much worse, I think! She was scared, but nothing completely rattles her. I probably woulda just sat down on a rock and cried...

They don't know yet what's wrong with the van. Hope it's nothing serious!

Oh, wonderful. I always take my cell phone when I'm in the car so I can call for help in an emergency.

I'd have been freaking out, too...

Funny kitty story...when I got home yesterday, Halvah (one of my cats) was wearing my "I Voted" sticker. How she got it, I have no idea, since I had hung that shirt up and it shouldn't have been within her reach. I'm guessing it just fell off, she was curious about it since it was sticky, and somehow it ended up on her back.

But in any case I wasn't worried, 'cause while we were waiting for the results to come in on Tuesday night, my brothers determined the political affiliation of each of my animals, and they had decided she was the most conservative of the lot... ;-)

And Tam is Republican, Cleo (my old adopted Siamese) is a old lady that votes Dem without questioning it because her family always has, Fiona is a bossy feminist and probably a Dem as well (sigh...), and Frizi is a touchy-feely type who woulda voted for Kerry without liking it.

Rather divided household we are, according to the brothers!
