Man hits car & runs

HAPPY THANKSGIVING!

I had a minor fender bender yesterday evening. A young Hispanic male, high on something, turned into my lane while I was waiting on the light to change and plowed into my car's front bumper. I was blowing my horn like crazy but he just kept coming. My 5 mph bumper prevented any damage to my car. He was so high, he was stumbling when he got out of his red Chevy Blazer. He never said a word and as I was calling 911, he got back into his truck and drove off!! I got his tag# and description to give to the Hoover PD. He was probably an undocumented alien in someone else's truck. We'll probably never see him again. The last thing he wanted was to get involved with the police. Just a couple of very small dimples in my front bumper. The main reason I called was to report him as being 1) a hit & run driver, and 2) reporting an intoxicated driver. Oh well, so much for the excitement.

Aaron got notification of his pending promotion to Corporal in December 1st (yeaaaaa!). That's the day he boards ship for the 2nd two week training float. So he'll get his stripes on board ship, cool! He hit something in the road and messed up a tire on base this morning and because it's Thanksgiving, no one is opened to get a replacement until tomorrow. Bummer...

Jan and I are both working today. We'll probably go to Piccadillys for supper tonight. We're going to Pat's on Saturday for the family get-together.

The furnace messed up and we had to replace the electronic control board in the furnace yesterday. Didn't need that expense.

The newspaper weighed about 10 lbs this morning. Black Friday is tomorrow. It'll be a madhouse around the Galleria & Summit. We'll be working.
