"For those of you who don't know...the Rock Lobster (the Mazda) was involved in a little altercation with an angry conifer while visiting the great state of Michigan (I guess they really don't like the imports up there, even if it is a cousin of Ford.) Rock Lobster never saw it coming, it was just sitting there admiring the falling snow (having not seen it for close to a year and having recently donned it's snow boots for the winter) just waiting for the chance to frolic in the snow covered streets of Traverse City. Then -- WHAM! -- for no apparent reason, the bully of a pine tree next to it throws down a branch, causing serious trauma to the head. Rock Lobster never had a chance. Those youthful dreams of playing joyfully in the Winter Wonderland of Northern Michigan, while temporarily crushed by a 12' brach, can still be realized, however, once The Polish Princess and I return to Traverse City to to pick up Rock Lobster in two weeks. Or more. Depending on when they get a new roof in...
Which is being shipped via train.
With a holiday thrown in there.
At least they gave us a Chevy Malibu to get our mind off of snow and falling tree branches."

YEA, kids! You look on the bright side while cruising the 'Nati in that fine, fine Malibu rental. And don't worry -- I know Rock Lobster will be back soon, all shiny-new looking, and ready to give as good as he got. The trees lining the street out of Traverse City better watch their backs!
