13:53 - Whatta country

I picked up a windshield crack over in the Central Valley on Sunday; while on a country road on the way to the dog show in Hanford, the wide-hipped pickup truck in front of me put a rock right in the edge next to my eyes, and a crack rapidly grew across my field of vision.
So I called the insurance guys, and they told me my mechanical breakdown coverage would take care of it, with a $50 deductible. Not only that, they set up an appointment for me with a local auto glass shop that sends out a van to do the repair right in your workplace's parking lot. Two days after you call it in. The guy drives from car to car all day, fixing cracks; the owners of the vehicles in question only need to take five minutes to sign the form, then go back to work while it gets taken care of.
Not bad.
