Turns out, the odds were pretty good this month. Dad called while we were visiting our friend Leslie in Germany this weekend. The big windstorm that had hit Western Washington, leaving a quarter million residents without power for days, left its own mark on our Ford station wagon. And a lasting impression it made, indeed.Turns out the damage didn't total the car. Apparently, the $75 Costco instant carport that we'd set up as a 2-year shelter helped break the fall of the weighty timber. Total impact: about $5,000, or roughly $1 for every mile between us and the incident.
Good thing we don't live on the moon.
Here are a few shots my dad took to document the scene of the crime. At least he's now got plenty of firewood... For next winter.
