    That's clever. I would be a patron of that store if I lived there.

    I drive for Uber/Lyft part time. Was in another town hanging with some friends and afterwards decided to drive for Uber and set a destination towards home. It was still kinda earlier around 11 pm. Wouldn't you know it I git this very drunk dude and his sober girlfriend/wife. The girl was fine and she apologized in advanced in case anything happened to me car and she would pay the fine and all if he threw up. And he threw up on himself and in my car a bunch of times. So that kinda sucked. Never had that happen so wasn't sure how to report that or better yet clean it up.  Let Uber know, took some pics. And they charged them $150. Although Uber said in the future they want a cleaning receipt

    So how do you clean vomit in a car (fabric upholstery)? Should i have gone to a car wash/detail place? It was late at night, nothing was open. I wasn't going to let it sit in my car overnight.  So i tried cleaning it the best i could with what I had.Looks better, but not great. Luckily it's an older car ('09 Honda civic) so i wasn't too upset.

    EPADave, 

    I am so sorry. Check your PMs for possible tips in making your car vomit free. That is so very gross.

    At a Gimmee! coffee shop in Brooklyn I looked across the street at the graffiti and thought of Pearl Jam.

    Put your phone down when you drive. Guy hit my husband 50 MPH, didn't even hit the brakes. Car totaled. Husband okay.

    Whoa, that's awful! It's good to read your husband is ok. I hope the other driver is ok.

    Was watching the full moon rise earlier (ironic how the fires gave it an extra orange glow; also makes for gorgeous sunrises), which made me think of Full Moon Fever, and Petty.   No matter how their death came about, there are just a handful of musicians over whom I shed sincere tears of loss.

    If it's possible, I hope he's rocking the fuck out somewhere out there.

    Why does it have to take so freaking long to buy/finance a car?

    Hard to believe, but it’s the second week of October and many of the flowers on my deck are still blooming. Yay!

    I thank you. My husband and I just ganged up on the State Farm agent. (The other guys insurance.) He thought that they could just move my husband's car closer (it's about 35 minutes away right now) and repair it. Um, it's totaled. These are the same people who never phoned him. Never asked how he was. Never offered a rental until today. Oh, they are worried about the cost of storing the car though. Well, perhaps they should have grabbed my husband's info off the crash report from the highway patrol. Frustrating.

    I’m sorry it’s such a clusterfuck for you, Amy. If only people simply gave a shit and did their jobs.
