A sucky end to an otherwise lovely day
Jan. 2nd, 2012 02:34 amThis morning, I went to the Textile Center for their Rock Day spinners and weavers get-together and potluck. I spent several hours spinning on the wheel and chatting with people. I also got a chance to try out Betty's electric wheel. I don't think I'm going to buy my own, but if I ever have knee problems the way she does, it's a great alternative.
Around 4 pm, I headed over to![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
lsanderson's for his annual Hair of the Dog party. There was much good food and good company and good conversation and Wizard and Zar and Boggle.
I left around midnight. As I got in my car, I realized that a) the acoustics were off and b) my glove compartment was open. Turns out that the passenger side window had been smashed, and my GPS, my iPod Classic, and the associated chargers and adapters had been stolen. I thought I had set the burglar alarm on the car, but if I did, smashing the window didn't set it off. So maybe I didn't. In any case, it probably wouldn't have done anything about the smash-and-grab except ruin my evening earlier. The car stereo was still there, thanks, I expect, to the antitheft system built into it.
It's only money, and while it hurts, I can afford to to replace the items if I choose to. And I'm grateful that my spinning wheel in the trunk of the car was left intact.
But damn.
(I'm not even sure where to go to get the car window fixed. Am I better off going to a Honda repair place or to someplace that specializes in car windows? The last time I had to cope with something like this was 20 years and two cars ago.)
