I had to dip out for a couple of days and fly up to Malaysia for a busines trip. After the flight, it's a 3 hour drive from KL to Ipoh, and along the way I get a phone call from Libby. She started to tell me a story about how she and David found a cat on the side of the road, and they didn't know what to do, it was breathing but not moving, and were on their way to take it to the SPCA, blah blah blah. I wasn't really paying attention, I was thinking about how impressed I was with the cell phone coverage in the middle of Malaysia, and wondering how much this call was costing me. "And then we got in a car accident." Wait, what? I didn't believe her at first, because my brain was on the cat story, but alas, it was true. "Are you okay?" "Yes, but the car isn't." Let me add a small detail: David had a brand new car. The lease was finally up on the Honda Odyssey, and we had a brand new Honda Stream, with just a couple hundred miles on it. David and Libby = Okay. Car = squished. A few days later, Libby was relating the story to her dad, and he responded, "Sacrifcing the car for a cat? Welcome to my world..."
Trying to put this event to the back of my mind because I was far away and there was absolutely nothing I could do about it, I took my free hour in KL and headed straight for the Petronus Towers. They were so cool.
Inside was a big shopping center, but it was almost 10pm so everything was closed and I didn't get to buy anything. Probably a good thing, we have some car repairs to pay for...
Your camera rocks! These pictures look like postcards!
