“What Most Americans Have”

The phrase uttered by my insurance agent annoyed me. It’s “What Most Americans Have” as a justification to pay more every month than I would be paying otherwise. Liability coverage sucks, kids.

I recognize the sales tactic, and I don’t hold it against my agent… He’s already lowering my rate and I’m quibbiling here over whether He lowers it by $32/month vs $26/month. And when they know you have a 4 month old their mouths just get juicier. “You’ve got a kid now, it’s not just you, as fast as you can go anymore.” $!#&%!! The things we do for our kids.

Perversely, Liability coverage isn’t for your kids. It’s for other peoples kids. I’m a good driver (if a little fast). I don’t wreck other peoples cars. Let THEM get the liability insurance.

Oh well. I’ll pay the bill. Until I figure out that nice guy or not, that agent just smiled at his bigger commission for something I don’t need at all. I fully realize I may never find out I don’t need it. Liability sucks.

Sweat and Moonlight

I went for a lunch-time walk while at work today – just a short 20 minute trip. It’s still warm enough that I sweat when I’m doing anything outdoors. What’s the point of trying to do something healthy if it only makes you uncomfortable later? Blech.

Sepia toned moonlight glowed through the misty darkness of my drive home Wednesday.
As the past-full-moon sailed higher, brighter, the roadside mist subsided,
But for a while, the drive through Lenawee was prettier while only dimly lit.

Happy Anniversary To Me

Been at my job for 1 year, today. I thank God I have a place to work that I enjoy this much. Can’t say much for the web site though. :) I designed a replacement, it’s just not in development yet, because so much work is necessary behind the scenes for other projects first. If you could see those you’d not worry about the frames, javascript and look of the thing so much. Hehe
