We put all efforts into getting our windshield replaced, and it took all day and both of us on two phones trying to get Safeco to follow through on emergency service. We had to locate a dealership which had the correct piece of glass, because Safeco wanted us to order it from one of their partner glass shops and wait for it to arrive. Not happening. Then we needed someone to install it, because the glass shop connected to the dealership is not open on Saturday. The Safeco shop wouldn't do the labor if we didn't buy the glass from them, and they didn't have it in stock. Finally, we found a free-lancer who wanted the work. He came to the dealership and happily and energetically installed the new windshield. Yes, this is a commercial for Safeco and their subsidiary, Safelite. Happy to give them the review they deserve.
We celebrated our windshield victory with a trip to the Grand Ole Opry. The ghosts of Minnie Pearl and Ernie Tubbs, the Texas Troubadour, were present in this venerated theater. We listened to toe-tappin' music from old timers like Joe Diffie and Jeannie Seely and then out walked Loretta Lynn, the coal miner's daughter. She was a complete surprise. Still a lovely lady, still a clear strong voice and a vision in pink velvet. Another highlight was watching the cloggers. The dancing is similar to Irish step dancing, done with high energy and precision.
Listening to tornado warnings on TV. I may get my funnel cloud yet. Need to be careful what I wish for...don't want to end up in Oz.

Happy Housewarming to Katie!
Pretty cool that Loretta Lynn surprised the audience. And glad you got the Boxster fixed--and no harm to the two of you.
