[So Much for the Rabbit!]

P.S. I failed to mention that hitting something that jumped out at Cor and bent the rim has complicated our problem. The new tire is only money; the rim is time; time is money and so, as I used to say in our Coastal Crjuise website, we had three mottos: First - "Oh my God!"; second - "Boy were we lucky" and third: "It's only money."

[So Much for the Rabbit!]

Thanks for your sympathy, but one of my reasons for telling this drama was to push the "This too shall pass" motto. Fortunately, Cor and I both have the attitude that "someday" we will be able to laugh about this...so we just laugh now. Anybody seeing us, sitting in the dark, talking and laughing must surely have thought we were daft. Perhaps we are. In our combined 160+ years of experiencing the good and the bad, it's all relative. We pinch ourselves in the morning, feel it, then know all is OK.
