... "Georgie & Mandy's First Marriage"

Also drove to car dealership to ask their opinion about my rear-end damage.
But, before I pulled in, I saw I sign that said "Body shop" pointing to the back,
so I went there.  It turns out that they are independent but have been there since
before I bought my previous car at the dealership in the front.

~~  After, I did go into the dealership's service dept and they said there's nothing
complicated in the area where the car was damaged, so there doesn't seem to be any 
need to rush.  They had no reason for me not to take it the the place in the back
and had no other recommendations.  

~~ The body shop implied it would take at least 10 days to fix it, but I'm
assuming it could take a lot longer because they'd just be sitting there
waiting for parts. It seems that they'd be replacing the whole lift gate
-- not just pounding out the dents.

-- 10:46a  Inside after biking 1+1;  "The View"

They are NOT BBB accredited, but have an A+ rating because there have been
no complaints through the BBB.  Google has 4.4 stars out of 5.  There are few bad
review out of 69.  Yelp has 3.5/5 with 24 reviews.  

~~ It seems that there are 5 steps. First, how long will it take before
they can provide the estimate to the insurance company (so that also
includes time that it's just sitting there waiting for them to get to
it). Time it takes for the insurance company to process that. Time for
parts to arrive. Time to wait until they can get to starting the repair.
And then time to do the repair.

--   3:00p  Leaving to pickup dinner @China Star
Also stopped @Wendy's to get 12 chicken nuggets (6 free when you buy 6 on app)

--   3:55p  Inside after biking 1+1;  Dinner @home: chop suey.
I ate the chicken nuggets with the Chinese vegetables, but had ordered it with shrimp
which I put in the fridge for tomorrow.

--   4:09p  Just as I was about to eat, the other insurance company called.
She sent the assignment to the auto body shop, so I need to call the shop tomorrow
to find out when I should bring it in for a 10-15 min inspection.

--   5:01p  "Inside Edition";  Exercycle (5 mins)
Only 2 of today's "Jeopardy" contestants have a double-L in their first name.
