GOOD NEWS EVERYONE!

What I'm doing: Heading to CAA6 (Crossfires Across America 6) in Arkansas next month.

Problem: While many of these people know who I am (from our interactions on the forum and facebook for 5 years), many have not met me. HOW do I help them to know who I am? How do I define myself, set myself apart, make a memorable impression?

Groundbreaking Solution: I had shirts made!
 
Many thanks to Jodie, my friend in California for the original avatar concept - which started as an off-the-hip joke about how STUPID and EMBARRASSING a question I asked was. (It was about dimensional analysis - she said I was too smart to ask such a dumb question in an open science forum [that I moderate] and that I needed a new avatar.)

Also, thanks to her for her COUNTLESS HOURS of time this week providing an image suitable for the size needed for a shirt.

I'm going, also, and I'm having one of those shirts made, too, so everyone will think I'm Pizza. And I'll prolly be on my most obnoxious behavior. So he may want to try to get there before I do. :lol

Is that a challenge? I intentionally keep my "obnoxious" index low here... I am capable of SO much more....

Are you suggesting that if you do get there first that's it's possible that I will regret making people think I'm you?

If that happens then you will win my complete and total respect. :nod
 
My attendance at the CAA event is questionable now.

A lady turned in front of me today, I believe my car is a total loss. But mine and hers (a modern VW Beetle) DID protect us from injury very well. I should have another car by then, but it's only a month away. (Actually 27 days to departure)

With all my friends and family with M.S. and cancer and other stuff - this is just a bump in the road of life.

Well, that really stinks, but it sounds like your handling it well, and of course, the important thing is you did not get hurt. Praise God.

Don't get discouraged. There's still the chance you will get over irradiated at the plant and start that exciting and lucrative acting career as the Amazing Colossal Metrosexual Man. :wink And if you do, I've got a date lined up for you...

Thanks, Reba. I missed church today over this... not too proud of that but not in a mindset to go anyway.
 
Based on the events since last Saturday evening:
If you do not have insurance thru "Country Financial", I would suggest you switch to them today.


Details to follow when it all is over....
 
I have usaa. I also,lol. so will the date being lets level electric grids so that we can go green?

Thank you! I'm ok. It was a disturbing bump in the road of life, but it was not cancer or M.S.

I worry about the driver of the other car, she was VERY young and very upset. She was a dear, and told me she was sorry - I told her that one must forgive oneself for being human. I guess she thought I'd be mad or something - and many people have said, "Oh, didn't you want to just punch her?"

But that makes no sense, this very nice young girl did NOT leave the house thinking, 'I am gonna destroy my car and someone else's today." When I was 17, I pulled out thinking I could get outta the way (not sure this girl even saw me) - and I got hit as well. It happens.
This is why we carry insurance, and it's no big deal.

Did I love my car? Did I plan to drive it another 115,000 miles? Did I just spend $1800 on it to get it ready to go the distance? Sure.
But the insurance stepped up and is, I think, being very good to me.

Just a bump in the road. Meanwhile, people are suffering from cancer, and M.S. and afflictions I can't imagine going thru.
 
Well, I THINK this is my next car. The 2007 SE (Special Edition). Only about 300-400 were built. It's really a step down, as it's just a base model with red paint. BUT, the price is right (with my insurance, and if she comes down $500, I can pay cash) and it has only 30,000 miles on the clock.

I have always had a soft spot for this last-minute-attempt-to-sell-a-few-more Crossfires. It is a unique color (the red here is darker than the red of the limiteds) and it is, as I said, the rarest of the Crossfires. Only the SE's numbers are fewer than the supercharged SRT6 Roadsters (there are around 1600 of them in the world).

This car was left behind for a lady to care for when a man died last fall. She contacted me when she heard that mine was gone and said she'd like it to go to a real Crossfire lover. That would be me.
