Well another long week has drawn to a close, one day of work next week, and then out the door on vacation!
Re: insurance. In 2012, our policy ran $700 for the year. Last year, it jumped to $1700. Working with our agent, we reduced the amount of coverage and got it down to around $1250. This year, for the same amount of coverage, they want $2438. Why? We live in a brush zone. Have there been any fires here lately? No. In the 20 years that we’ve lived here, there’s been three major brush fires and as far as I know in the immediate area, two houses have been lost.
Last year they predicted the worst fire season ever. Nothing happened. This year they are predicting the worst fire season ever. Why? Due to the drought, global warming, Bush.
So this year when nothing happens or they get hit with huge fires and massive payouts, what will they jack us up to then? I can hardly wait.
TGIF, GN!
That’s a wonderfully gleeful, eeeevul thread pic, Mac.
Sven --
Your insurance situation’s utterly preposterous; so sorry that you and Mrs. Sven have to deal with that carp.
BBL.
Happy Friday, Gerbil Nation!
Good morning, Fatwa!
Sven -- ouch! That’s just plain ridiculous.
By way of Ottava over at Facebook, a recent major find by archaeologists:
