Exciting things
(1) I am all caught up in livejournal! Woo-hoo! I haven't been commenting much because I figure people don't want to be bothered by comments on posts they made a month ago, but I know what's going on with many people now.
(b) We had a car chase on our block Saturday morning, which is mostly notable because said block is a freaking cul-de-sac. Around 10 am as we were shuffling around, making coffee and whatnot, I heard sirens and went to look out the window to see which way they were heading on the streets that, you know, go somewhere and an SUV comes flying past the house! WIth what later proved to be eight (8!) police cars behind it (a mix of Suisun City, Solano County Sheriff, and CHP - one Yolo County sheriff came later to take the passenger from the fleeing car into custody, it looked like). I guess the pursuee was not familiar with the area. Luckily, when he realized his dilemma hie just stopped and surrendered rather than trying t drive through someone's fence. None of the parked cars were hit, or anything. Excitement without property damage, very nice! Ill be reading the police blotter for the write-up.
iii) After that we trekked over to Home Depot to buy a two-by-four and door knobs and such. We actually fixed the garage door on Sunday, and DH installed one of the doorknobs. We even got a fancy push-button code-locked deadbolt for the front door, which will be handy for not needing to carry a key when I am walking the dog and also for autolocking if we forget to throw the deadbolt (the other latch on the front door doesn't always hold and the door will just quietly swing open if it isn't deadbolted- unsettling!).

no subject
Eep! Very glad it was resolved quickly and painlessly. Still, what fun to tell the story! Something about car chases/police pursuit really piques our need for excitement.
Feel free to comment on posts a month old! It's always nice to know folks are reading.
