First of all, she's OK.....

We left off with Helena and Wendy driving the Ford Escort 1800 miles in a four day trip down I-40, arriving on the evening of the 22nd. Wendy got on a plane about noon on the 25th and flew home (with a 40 minute delay in Memphis that caused her to miss her connection in Phoenix so she hopped a flight 3 hours later only fly for one hour and sit on the tarmack at LAX for an hour while they waited for an open gate to taxi up to -- but that's another story)

The 26th Wendy and Amanda were supposed to go to a Blank182 (or something) concert but they didn't make it, as didn't a bunch of others and the tickets will be refunded. I also got my watch.

The 27th we got a call from Helena. She has abrasions from the air bag on her arms, but is otherwise OK. The pretty little Escort is a different matter. She ran into the tire of one of these big-wheeled 4x4 truck things:

All she did to the truck was shred his tire -- didn't even hit the rim of the wheel. In the same yard as David is another Escort, a wagon, the same green, with a dead drive train and a good body. They can buy it for $200 and make one good car out of the pair.
