Expensive-Looking

I carried an expensive-looking red glass candy dish up to the lookout tower this morning.

Well, actually, we don't have a lookout tower on top of the house, and I just came upstairs, to the computer station across from Waldy's room.

And it isn't really a red glass candy dish, it's a broken taillight cover from some sporty late-model car.

But it is expensive-looking.

I found it the other day, lying next to the left rear corner of our 1990 Ford van. The corner was slightly creased and the small, modest taillight was unharmed. Clearly, someone had carelessly backed out of a parking space and run into the van.

I honestly don't mind that someone hit-and-ran on our van. It's already a beat-up old thing, and it will only look tougher and less like something you'll want to mess with, and the driver of the car with the fashionable taillight will clearly be paying a steep price to have his/her car restored to pristine condition.

And we do have this lovely candy dish as a remembrance of the occasion.
