Afternoon all from cloudy Florida. Howie is doing OK. As I predicted he has a wicked bruise from the seatbelt. He got in my car and drove to the bank this morning and he said he won&#39;t be driving for a couple of days as he discovered the seatbelt hurt as well as his arms. He remembers bracing himself by holding onto the wheel for dear life so it&#39;s understandable. My son works with Howie so he&#39;ll be driving Dad for a few days. We&#39;ll probably get Howie a rental car on Wednesday or Thursday as he won&#39;t really need it till then. I handed Howie the Consumer Reports car issue and told him to start looking as I know this car is not fixable.<br />

Can someone remove the cloud over us please&#33;&#33;&#33;&#33;&#33;&#33;&#33; I&#39;ve had enough in the last few months&#33;&#33;&#33;&#33;&#33;<br />

Spoke to mom yesterday and she&#39;s feeling slightly better, she just can&#39;t do anything for a long period of time. The Dr. said it would take time for her lung to heal. I&#39;ll know when she&#39;s better as she&#39;s starting to think about taking a 3 or 4 day cruise just to get away&#33; LOL <br />
<br />
