 Joe dropped me off at work this morning.  The plan for today is for him to drop me off, me to get a ride to Ft. Buchanan with C so we can walk after work and then Joe will pick me up again tonight.  It works fine for today because Joe has to spend the day doing car/insurance related stuff and needs to work late anyway.  Who knows what will happen tomorrow.  There is a government car Joe can use during the day but eh's not supposed to drive it home, although he can park it at Ft. B.  But, that's still 10-20 minutes from our house, depending on traffic, and I'd have to go get him each night, plus drop him off at about 5am, which means waking Ellie very early, and overall is not a good plan.  

We may just bite the bullet and rent a car for two weeks.  Not cheap - and it pisses me off because this accident was NOT MY FAULT - but our lives may just require access to 2 cars.

On the plus side, since Joe dropped me off this morning, I got here early enough to get chai before work.  And as I was walking across the parking lot, there was this huge flock of green parrots in the trees.  I am still enough of a mainland US resident to be happy at the sight of parrots flying around.

Sounds so frustrating. I'm so sorry.

We actually have wild parrots in downtown San Francisco!

I'm sorry; that is really frustrating. Is there any way you'll be able to get the money for the rental from the person that hit you at a later time?

It's a definite possibility. Part of the problem is that hte police report still has not been finished and you aren't supposed to trade insurance info here.

There's this island insurance program here - everyone pays in each year and it maxes out at 3K. But it's a huge PITA and we are trying to not bother with it. We may just ask the guy to pay us for the rental and our deductible and leave it at that.

That is so cool!
