Pictures of the damage

OK, I'm really tired, and I just couldn't see myself uploading my images to Photobucket and then posting them here. There are only eight of them, but, I'm really really tired. So here's a teaser:

Wow. The guy who did this must have drunk or something. He really put some force into it.

The neighbor said he was driving VERY fast. Given the fact that this isn't the strongest garage door in the world, I'm just glad he didn't proceed further and trash the contents, which, even if they look in disarray, are in more order than they were some time in the past, and like most things, I don't have the energy to deal with that kind of thing.

OMG -- what a mess! My guess is that the driver was either (1) intoxicated or (2) an inexperienced driver who didn't want his/her parents to discover what (s)he had done. Jeez, some people!

And, yet, today, it looks as though nothing ever happened. The guy who fixed it was working on it in the evening on the day after the crash, and he discovered the inside lights in the garage don't work (like I'm going to climb a ladder and install a new fluorescent tube?), so he just set up his own lights, and got it finished. Good thing I took pictures right away in the morning.

Too bad you did not have a hurricane-proof garage door. It would still be up and the truck would be no more.... LOL

Thanks! Take it if you want it; I found it randomly on the net...

Yeah, that occurred to me today. Still I doubt the garage door company would want to use those images in a commercial. :-)

My gosh!!! That nothing else has been damaged and that all your stuff is still there!!
That guy was drunk, on drugs or having a fight on the phone.
Other than being a total ass!

Take good care of yourself!

Thanks for your concern! There really wasn't anything I had to do. My neighbor took care of all of it, and all I had to do was write him a check.

I'm just having my usual day.

In fact my second nap is looming without my consent. Meaning I'm still mostly awake, but my eyes keep closing. It's one of the things I really don't enjoy about MS.

I can only try to imagen.
But give the neighbor a kiss as well!
