Bits and Bobs

A few items acquired at the end of last year:

A silly long-sleeved shirt that I delight in wearing, found at a resale shop.

A sweatshirt gift from a co-worker; it's PURRFECT!

And am thankful that no one was injured when I and a co-worker were out at a local park in November, trying to spy Aurora Borealis; image above is exactly what we saw, which is nothing.

However, as we chatted in the dark, we witnessed a car crash about a quarter of a mile from our location...well, we heard a crunch and headlights bobbing around...and did not see any people moving about afterward.

We called emergency services, and waived our phone lights at the police and firefighters to direct them.

For weeks afterward, we searched local news to see if the incident was reported, but found nothing.

As Eastside Cats is just over a mile from the police station, one day I screwed up my courage and drove over to ask if everyone involved in that accident was okay.

Let me tell you, walking into that cop shop made my knees weak; scary, despite all of the nice-looking folks in uniform.

The police officer behind the glass looked up the incident, told me it was just a one vehicle fender-bender, and no injuries reported.

My co-worker and I are thankful that no one was hurt, while the noise of the accident is something that neither of us will ever forget.

P.S. Have learned that we need to move farther North and West when conditions are good for Northern Lights in Southeast Michigan, and I've scouted three likely locations to drive to for the next time.
