Sometimes, it's seems that our lives are the gravitational pull of negative attention. When bad-luck, uh, misfortune comes, it is in quantity that hopefully subsides and our lives level out with even handed transactions.

When I have multiple run-ins with bad luck, especially motoring, I slow everything down. Not always easy but, I evaluate ALL of my driving.

I was run over a year ago. Completely torn R ACL 12 weeks of couch time, and lotsa pain. Working with a personal injury firm. At 64, I don't recover, and I was in a crosswalk, with the WALK signal. The offending driver just didn't even bother to look.

Sell the car, use Lift, Uber or what rides available.

High insurance, accidents, vandalism, 10 parking tickets! Car ownership does not fit into your budget or lifestyle, and shouldn't have to fit into your readers' budgets or lifestyles.

Readers have a choice. They don’t have to donate.

By the way. It will cost me far more money to use uber/lyft.
