At the time, I never thought I’d leave AltaVista, which is retroactively recognized as the “Google of Its Time“.
I have no idea what the odds are but we’ve had not one but two vehicles written off after being hit while parked on the street in front of our house. The most recent was in February of 2016… I got rear ended again last week while stopped at a crosswalk but luckily, this time […]
