Sometimes it rains - Update

When we last saw Captain Bob, he was a bloody mess but appeared to be OK.  And Mrs. Captain had gotten back home and the dead Camry was in the driveway.

At the Captainette's insistence, the Captain went to the doctor.  So the doctor says as you get older your brain shrinks and the doctor wanted to make sure that the Captain's brain wasn't rattling around getting damaged¹.  So they order x-rays or some sort of imaging and decide that the brain is OK but that he has a broken rib.

The next Saturday night, the Captain awakes in pain and decides to get thee to a hospital.  There he finds out that now he has two broken ribs (however no word on any continuing brain shrinkage).  So they give him some sugar pills pain pills and send him home.

The Camry is less fortunate.  It needs a heart transplant.  Apparently a used engine with 50% more miles than the old (but busted) engine will cost $8,000.00.  A quick look at Edmunds shows us that the retail for his car is maybe $10-12,000.

After lengthy wailing on the Captain's part, the Camry heads off to the great car wash in the sky and a new Prius is now gleaming in the Captain's garage.
