Nutter update (sort of) and car news

1.  I called the local advertiser to ask the Editor if she was aware of the loon we dealt with yesterday.....She was.  Apparently there had been another incident last year where he had 'cleaned the windows' of another local person and had again turned abusive and again the Police had been called.  The home owner back then had been convinced the man had mental issues. They had stopped running his adverts since then - we must have kept his ad from one of their issues last year - very possible.

Strangely this made me feel somewhat better. 

2.  Driving to collect the older two children from school tonight a mid sized passenger bus swiped my wing mirror and smashed it.  The driver did not even know he had swiped me...I stopped him at the next light and we exchanged details.  The flashing light in the wing mirror works still and the casing is in tact, it is just the mirror glass that smashed....Where we stopped to swap insurance info, a couple of Cops were already snacking on Cheetos and Doughnuts.  They were helpful but didn't want us to file a proper report as it was minimal damage - noithing on the guy's bus - just my mirror.  The guy was quite nice about it - he hadn't heard anything he said - but he had swiped me with his passenger side and maybe his hearing aid didn't pick up the whack sound.

$369 for new glass plus labour and tax.

Police 2 days running - let's hope it's not running in 3s.
