H never came back from Iraq

Well, back from So Cal, no word from H about anything.

My brother and his family are doing good. Seeing him and his W and their two girls makes me horribly jealous though. They've had their rough patches, my brother was telling me about the time she nearly ran him over with her car when they were arguing and she tried to leave and he stood in front of her...lol all worked out in the long run since that was nearly 10 years ago I guess. Maybe I'll be there someday.

But I had fun. Went to California Adventureland for New Year's Eve with a friend, saw lots of family and generally had good times.

Got in a minor car accident today. Totally bizarre. I made a left turn on a green arrow to get to the freeway on-ramp, a car pulled out from side street to merge onto the main blvd (even had turn signal on) but then when crossing the two lanes leading to the freeway, he suddenly stopped in the middle of my lane. No one in front of him, I have no idea what he thought he saw or didn't see. I slammed on my brakes but it was pouring rain, I slid and bumped him. Didn't set off my airbags, didn't hear glass break, but pulled over to talk to him. He drove off! Makes me think he either didn't have a license/insurance, was drinking, or had stolen the car. I got the plate number though. The only damage to my car appears to be a bent front license plate luckily, not even a scratch of paint so far as I could tell in the rain. Happy New Year I guess lol.
