today has been a long day. home and auto insurance claims have been filed. all on us. pretty much every law in every state says that a tree that falls into your house and/or car is YOUR problem, not the person that owns the tree. unless it was neglected and needed to be cut down (which this pecan tree was in good shape) i am liable for any damages caused. total bull**** but that's the way it goes. knows what's even more bull****? the same laws state that the pecans that grew on it- even on branches that were clearly on my property- belong to the neighbor because that's where the trunk is. trunk = ownership.....unless the tree caused damage to anyone else's property. there's a 14" hole in my roof, my gf's car is smashed and i'm about to be out a bunch of money for deductible(s).
i also drove my car for the first time in 8 months today....i'm about to go ride. see y'all later.

on the plus side, i just hit my 9th month of sobriety. kinda feel like having a drink.
