A meteorite has hit northern Iran ... snip snip snip ... Iranians are currently mourning at least 30,000 people killed by an earthquake measuring 6.8 on the Richter scale which struck southeastern Iran on December 26.

The End Is Near Maru
Ah well, I just really hope the end isn't all that near. Just started a new year and would like to enjoy this one for once. Have had an abundant number of overall crappy years now (well they had their moments but overall they were crappy) and a good one would be nice for a change. This year I would like to go without deaths, illnesses, bodily ailments, diseases, emotional distress, household or DIY disasters or other unexpected troubles that cost time, energy and/or money to straighten out and are all a load of (I was going to say a nasty word but I don't) hot air finding their origin in mistakes/misconceptions/crappy workmanship from others. All I want is just the normal regular family life, my son growing up healthy and happy and a nice comfy paying job. Now is that so much to ask?
And to start the year off right, somebody drove his car with their trailer coupling into the side of mine. Grrrrrr. I was parked way off the road on a regular spot in front of my moms home half on the side walk. So how the bloody hell anyone can manage to reverse into a parked car that is well out of the way of any traffic is totally beyond me. To think I even moved the car foreward because my mom was scared I could get hit from behind because originally I parked it closer to the corner of the street. Argh. Just my luck. Well I guess I shouldn't complain, at least they came forward to pay for the damage, currently estimated at 1250 EURO excl. and three days without car. Grumble... Happy new year indeed, I believe it when I see it.
