Burgers on the grill tonight...call the Fire Department...

I had a typical weekend. Did yard work, went to the store, smashed out the back windshield on the van, played with the kids, etc, etc.

I pulled around to the front yard (and front door) in order to put a mattress into it so that I could take it and trade it for a slightly smaller mattress with my parents. The problem was (and is), a queen size mattress won’t fit in a mini-van, however, this is slightly less important than the fact that neither will a mini-van (with the back gate up) fit in the garage without a lot of broken glass involved.

When I discovered the mattress wouldn’t fit, I put it back in the house and then put the van (most of it anyway) back into the garage.

When I heard the crash, I didn't even look back.

The guy at the glass place said he’d try to help me recover my $100 deductible. I guess he figures anyone who would do this could use all the money he can get.
