Default déjà vu all over again

It's been a hell of a week. The day the movers were packing up the
Florida house Mrs. E's car got run over by a Federal Express semi-trailer
truck just as the auto transport company showed up to take it to MA. Mrs.
E's fine, but her little BMW has a hood that looks like an accordian. The
next day when I went to pick up the Scout at the storage place I found the
gate chained and locked and the telephone service disconnected. They had
gone bankrupt the day before and were apparently in court receivership. I
got into the yard by following a guy who opened the gate and drove in.
Turns out he was a mechanic who used to work there and was picking up his
tools. When he opened the gate, I pulled up right behind him and blocked
the gate so they couldn't close it. It was quite a scene as I hooked up
the boat trailer while people were yelling at me that I couldn't take it.
I did, but it's quite a story.


Geez guy, I'm getting images of that Lil' Abner character, Joe Bfstplk.
I'm glad your wife wasn't injured, and hope Ford makes it right by you.
