This is two weeks in a row that I have not received The Economist. I have heard on the news that the post office is in financial trouble, but I do not understand why it could cause a delay of over two weeks. Yesterday I drove down to Los Gatos in the afternoon and Jason took ten pictures of my Sienna with his digital camera so I could send them to GEICO. A couple of weeks ago I got a letter addressed to Diane Baslersally saying that a client of their insurance company had filed a claim against the Sienna for damaging their client’s car on 10 August. I called them and was told that a witness had seen me run into a Land Rover in the Sharon Heights Shopping Center parking lot and left a note giving my license number. They sent me pictures but they were of such poor quality I could not make much out from them. Anyway they said the claim was over $2000 in damages. I was unaware of the accident at the time it happened, so I thought the claim was absurd and turned it over to GEICO who requested I send them pictures of my car. I also explained that Sally had been dead for nearly eight years and that the can is now in the family trust of which I am the trustee. It took me a long time last night getting these pictures to go through my email because the files were so big. I eventually had to send them as ten separate messages. Anyway, I also read more on my Kindle. I feel good today.
