I spoke with Benji this afternoon and it seems his GF Andrea's car (a hot little white 4 door Mercedes) was totaled from the flood damage. She l-o-v-e-d that car so even though this news was not unexpected, it still hurt. When we spoke, she was hunting for another car and I dared not ask what kind. Thank goodness Benji's car survived--hoopty that it is, after all the abuse he's given it, he still needs to be able to drive it. He better get famous fast before that car d-i-e-s. He sounded pretty worn out even though he is in a lot better shape than a lot of folks. I think the collective stress of a city can get to you after awhile and since this week is slow, due to the flood, he's really feeling the drag. Not surprising. Since I couldn't do anything else for him, I told him to head for the Honey Baked Ham store and get some goodies for he and Andrea, figuring they could use the comfort food, and the store could use the business.
While Nashtown continues to dry out, it's clear it's going to be quite a while before it's back to normal. Quite... a...while.
