Mr. Dump and Junior started yelling as they headed out of the house this morning. Our reward for dragging ourselves out of bed was this really vividly red double rainbow. The sunrise was pretty red and pink this morning, so I don’t know if that has anything to do with the reds showing up so strongly. Either way, I didn’t notice the start of the 2nd rainbow until after they left, so this is for them.

We Have a Winner!
I had this ding confirmed, but yes, ding #4 in the windshield happened at about 2pm today. Unbefreakingleavable. Again, on 495, and I wasn’t even trying! (No, really, I’m not happy about this.)
So while I thought I was being funny by having the contest, I had no idea It would end so soon.
So looking at the only three entries of Dec 29, Jan 4 and March 15. Today is Dec 31, so the winner, guessing Dec 29th, is T.O.M. I will choose an appropriately awesome prize for T.O.M. I’m sure she’s looking forward to receiving it!
Oh, and I’m not going to have a pool for crack #5. I’m hoping that will prevent it from happening any time soon.
An Old Joke Comes to Mind
But how old was the man?
The Windshield Pool
[12/31 Update: We have a winner!]
Okay, today I got spider crack number three in the old windshield. Route 495 hasn’t been very good to me, I have to say. So there are two together up near the top, and this new one is about 2/3 of the way down, over toward the passenger side.
I do not have great hope of the windshield lasting like this forever, so we will start a pool. The options available in the pool are
a) The windshield will implode on [date]
b) You will get a 4th crack on [date]
If B causes A, we all win!
You can enter your guess in the comments. The person closest to the actual date something happens will win a fabulous prize of my choosing. And I also choose how to define “fabulous”. It’s free for all to enter, so have at it!
[Edited: Unless you read here regularly, you may want to provide your email address with your guess so I can reach you if you win…]
