Anyone seen this? Some lowlife stole this awesome gravemarker/flower holder

what you haven't heard about car insurance in California... thanks to Prop 103, it's cheaper now than in 1989, and Insurance companies keep trying to screw us in court to remove our protection laws from them over profitting

http://www.consumerwatchdog.org/blog/big-win-and-winners for Prop 103 (just on NBC ch 7 San Diego) and lookout when insurance companies get to play with the new healthcare rules, we're doomed regarding costs

http://www.consumerwatchdog.org/focusarea/prop-103-california-insurance-reform for the "read all about it" stuff I'm amazed at... Mercury insurance news is all bad

the result of careless driving during rush hour, 4 vehicles damaged, lots of people having their day ruined. Stop following so closely in freeway exit ramp merges



The F150 Lightning crashed into the green mini suv

the gray suv was hit from behind and lost it's rear fascia and the gold suv with the mashed rear bumper was hit by the silver one which now has a mashed hood

If you are following someone in slow rush hour traffic, stay at least far enough behind them to see the bottom of their rear tires
