... and bad news

But we also had some bad things happen yesterday.
It was around 9 p.m. when some drunk idiot crashed into my Dad's parked car and just left the scene without leaving a notice. When my Dad got back to his car not much later (he was at some friends' house) he discovered it and I suppose he almost freaked out. The mirror was completely destroyed, another mirror was lying next to Dad's car and the whole side of the car was covered with scratches. So he then called the police and let them take care of it.
They luckily called us today to tell us they found that moron and he certainly won't have a driver's licence for the next couple 'days' plus he will have to pay quite a bit... The policemen said it would be approx. 2000 Euro to only repaint the side of the car with the scratches...

And all this certainly had to happen the evening before my parents wanted to see my Uncle and his family in Munich because they have tickets for a comedy show on Sunday. Well, now that Dad got a new mirror on the car they left for Munich and don't worry too much about it anymore...

Good news...

This time I can offer you all some good news and some bad news...
When I got online yesterday and my ICQ went on, I suddenly found myself talking to a part of the family we haven't had contact with since over 20 years. It was the Granddaughter of my Grandpa's brother.
We haven't been in contact for such a long time and then, with a simple click she found my ICQ # after searching for her last name and a couple messages in each direction we discovered the relationship and from then on it was just like WOW!!! I mean, it's been over twenty years and now this, without even expecting it... I still have problems believing this conversation yesterday was real...
Maybe within a couple days or weeks it's better, but for now I'm just like 'Wow! Did this really happen???'
