I can haz sandals!

J came over last night and told me to try on her sandals of infinite perfection, which I did, and found them good, so Chaz and I went to the shoe store and bought some tonight. They are lovely. As we were waiting at the edge of the parking lot to turn onto El Camino, directly in front of us an old van did a slow-motion crumple against a car, while slightly ahead of it another car with an obvious dent waited beside the road. It was odd, because the front of the van just...crumpled, with bits falling off. The driver wasn't hurt, just confused, and the car it was crumpling against drove off the road (as you're supposed to, to make way for traffic). We hadn't seen anything useful and the driver got out of the van OK, so we left the growing crowd of gawkers helpers and came home. With new sandals.
