elfsI took today off to hang out with Kouryou-chan. She'd actually rather spend it outdoors with her friends, and more power to her for making that decision, but given all the free time I've had you'd think I'd actually get something done. No, I spent it reading, mostly Banks' Matter. I guess that's not wasting the day away, but there's a long list of things I plan to do someday.
Why not now? Dunno. Just low energy today.
Smashed Mailboxes I did go out once, briefly, to take Kouryou-chan to the video store, and on the way back, I saw that my mailbox, and all the other mailboxes that share flag streets off the dead end, had been smashed to pieces.
The story we got from the neighbor two doors down is that someone came down the street, driving crazy for no reason we know, bounced off the mailboxes and slammed into the car in her driveway. He must have slowed down quite a bit by then, realizing that not only was that street a dead-end but that the apparent egress was a dirt path that led down an unnavigably overgrown hill, because he hit her car only hard enough to dent it and push it into her house, causing damage to a window. The police had apparently been in pursuit, because they had him in custody and already towed away his car by the time Kouryou-chan and I returned from our errand.
The police never bothered to inform anyone of the damage. It was just there for us to discover later. Nor have we been told how to recoup damages from the vandal. I'm going to have to get together with the neighbors and see what we can do about putting the shelf of mailboxes back together.
