12:13 p.m.	The $1,000 Raccoon.	2003-05-06
Reaped	Dropped Ruby off for her 5000 mile check-up today. Get the terminal call later in the morning. Turns out her radiator was hanging on by three screws. Three screws? How is that possible with a car barely six months old? The answer to that riddle is the $1,000 Raccoon. They met briefly somewhere west of Mobile Alabama. He was a fat piece of fur with a death wish, she was a paint huffing red-head with an unhealthy passion for speed. Their meeting could only end in sorrow: not with a bang, but a juicy red splat. It was great discussing this with Chaz, the friendly dealership mechanic. �Yeah, we saw some hair and stuff in there but didn�t really know what had happened to shatter that chassis. It�s fiberglass dawggonit.� I knew though. 80 mph, a shield of darkness and one furry woodland creature. That�s all it takes to shatter that shit. So now Ruby�s taking a breather, as I wait for the insurance appraiser to come confirm that it was an animal collision, which my friendly insurance agent informed me, has a 500 dollar deductible. Which makes the $1,000 Raccoon slightly less. And for which I may be waiting several days to take advantage of. 3 actually. Bleh. The week of shit continues.	Sown
