DAMN!  Sorry to hear you lost the CD.  Happy you are doing well and the 
van load is alive.  Best wishes with the insurance demons.

  But it took the hit.  I guess that's ultimately what they were built 
for and why we drive them.

I'm glad to hear that you're ok.  The MB did its job, and you walked away.
You can always buy another one, but you only have one "you."

If you want another CD, there was a girl (no affiliation) selling a
near-perfect 84 CD near here.
