Well, I WAS fine

I must say, if you're thinking about switching your car insurance, Erie deserves a lot of consideration. I saved a lot of money by switching to them (though I shudder to think of what my rates will be like now) and I have found the claims people to be nothing but super-nice. (So's my agent.) Today the insurance guy came to my office to look at the car and it was all going along fine, until he looked at the radiator.

"Yeah," I said. "When I got the estimate, the mechanic said it was dented and I'd probably need a new one."

"Huh," said the insurance guy. "I'm almost surprised the radiator didn't combust."

I'm sorry--combust? Thanks. Hello, paranoia. Fortunately, I have an appointment and Seth is going into the shop tomorrow. But let me tell you, driving out to tutor, then driving back was not fun. I was convinced the radiator was going to blow at any minute. It was clearly just biding its time.
