That's what they are calling the attacks in Paris. How shocking, and sobering at the same time. I can't understand how ONE person could be a cold-blooded murderer, much less how there is an extensive network of people who join the club because they delight in the kill. Oh right, and because their religion demands it. Yeah. Disgusting.
I picked up my car yesterday, and it is BEAUTIFUL! It is spic & span, inside and out. It was expensive, but I'm so glad I did it. The total cost was $3,411. The extra $400 was for bumper replacements and a few parts, like the gizmo that holds the antenna. I charged it to Discover, so I should get some decent cash back.
Before the retreat, I made a quick stop at the grocery to buy quarters, and also got some kitty litter and a birthday card for my grandson. ($10)
The sandwich I ordered for the retreat was so big, I took half of it home and ate it for supper. So that was a free lunch and supper. I was lucky enough to find free parking, too.
Today I'm doing laundry, and going back to the grocery for food. I'll have to get gas, too.
At noon, my new cat will be delivered by the foster caretaker. So it might be an interesting afternoon! 
Hoping they will resolve their inevitable territorial issues quickly.
Today's menu:
Breakfast: French toast, apple
Lunch: Chili, cornbread
Dinner: Sloppy joes, veggies
Carnage

It is important to note that religion does not advocate this behavior. In a lecture in a terrorism training I heard the instructor say that the terrorists that cause havoc and claim it on religion are no better than the KKK in the US. Religious fanaticism is the same the world over. This is a misrepresentation of Islam. I have friends, neighbors and colleagues who are Muslim and they are just as horrified as we are.
There is absolutely no religious reason for these actions.
Glad you got your car back. Hopefully the commute to work is much easier now and just in time for the winter weather.
