You are exactly correct!

Now, I feel better about taking a nap instead of "working" on my car. After all, it's Sunday - a day of rest -

He drives granddaughters around more than he naps. Probably another dent in the back by now.

So, I was going to work on it on Saturday, but, Friday night, we had a granddaughters sleepover and the three year wound up in our bed, punching me in the back all night long. Their parents didn't pick them up till about 1:00 PM Saturday, which was time for my loooooong Saturday nap time.

However, I did drag my lazy ass out of bed, fired up a pot of boiling water, poured it over the dent and discovered that the handy dandy dent puller I bought from Walmart was too big to get a suction hold on that curvy dent.

By this time, it was too late to start taking out the tail light, to see if I could push it out from the inside -

As far as progress, I did find out one thing that didn't work -

Not yet, mrs humfrz and I slept till noon, so it's hard to justify a nap before 4 PM.

Plus, mrs humfrz just turned on the heater in the bathroom, laid out my washcloth and towel and suggested that I was getting sort of gamey and reminded me that I didn't take my weekly shower on Saturday, so I was overdue.

Well, close. I was parked in the yellow zone near a corner at the elementary school waiting for my middle granddaughter. After she jumped in, I started to back up when some old fool in a giant SUV came flying around the corner and damn near rear ended me. The old coot just laid on the horn and threw his hands up at me.

My granddaughter was embarrassed, so she was looking up on her cell phone, the cost of Uber rides from her school to my house -

Question: If I'm backing up and someone rear ends me, who is at fault?

Yes, thanks for asking.

I was afraid it was another blocked intestine and I would have to go back to the hospital like last time. So I took 2 aspirin, 2 acetaminophen, 2 ibuprofen, 2 gas-ex pills, 2 alka-seltzers, a glass of prune juice and a couple pills for vomiting and nausea that I had left over from my chemo days.

Well, I finally got up the next morning feeling weak, but "I woke up not again dead today" (as Willy Nelson sings).

I have recovered - again -
