The joy of seatbelts and airbags.

We were in a little bit of a crash yesterday. We rear-ended a woman while trying to merge with traffic. The airbags deployed, hitting Nemaria and her husband, and Calyeph and I were sore from the seatbelts. Other than that, everything was fine. Of course, once the woman's husband got there, he began pointing out everything he could to get them more money from insurance. Our front seatbelts no longer work, but the car is drivable. We took a short trip to the hospital, where we found out that Nemaria was okay, and indeed, not pregnant.

Christmas in the south.

Florida

Mini-vacation! The whole band is together (rare these days) at Nemaria's apartment in Florida. Right now, her husband is at work with the Navy, and Calyeph, also in the Navy, has to start work on the 5th. We're an hour from his base, so he'll stay down here when I go back home. We'll all be miles apart again soon, but not forever.

The beach is fun, yes, even in the cold. We went shell collecting yesterday, after touring Nemaria's hubby's ship. We rescued a stranded sea snail by cell phone light and I found a leopard print crab shell. I have no idea what kind of crab leaves leopard print shells, but it's true. I forgot my camera cord, of all things, so the pictures will have to wait until I get back home.
