Car found. It's in the shop now. It looks ok, to be honest. They even left my CD's in the back . Looks like there is almost no damage. Go figure. We'll see about the engine but things look pretty good.

Seems like good karma on my part. No pun intended. Well, maybe a little.

Last Saturday night my car was stolen. It's still missing. Find out from the insurance company how much they'll offer me next week.

My optimism is crippled.

So much for a happy birthday.
