This... is NOT what the bumper (the first brand new bumper) on my mazda looks like



This is what Ivor's new ride looks like



I obliterated yet another bumper on the mazda last week. That is two in less than a year. This time I didn't get hit by an enormous piece of retread. Instead I T-Boned a landscaping truck in an intersection. Despite being a scarier accident, I seem to have done less damage to the car.

The insurance company hemmed and hawed around buying Ivor a new carseat, but my friend Lori assured me they would. She said "nobody wants to be the insurance company that doesn't care about babies".

Right on.
