Did Not-Heaven just freeze over? I know it's been excessively cold around here, but that doesn't explain a sudden turn of events. The cake has been taken. My flabber has been gasted. Pigs are surely flying above Backroads!
On Tuesday, Hick was offered a payment for his wrecked trailer!
"I talked to The Buddy today. He asked me if I would take $1500 for my wrecked trailer. Said his relative (the one who actually wrecked the trailer The Buddy had borrowed from Hick) was giving him $1500, to see if they could call it done."
"I'm shocked! I didn't think we'd ever see a penny for that trailer."
"Yeah, I'm a little surprised."
"What did you pay for the new one?"
"Nineteen hundred."
"What did you pay for the one that got wrecked?"
"Fourteen fifty, two years ago. But I had just put $600 worth of tires on it."
"Well. I'm surprised he's offering you this amount. I'd say go ahead, and then The Buddy can quit worrying about it."
"Yeah, that's what I was thinking. But I wanted to see what you thought."
"The Buddy isn't the one who wrecked it, and his relative didn't do it on purpose. They thought they had insurance on it. It was an accident. Nobody got hurt. They need the money more than we do. I'd say take the $1500 and be done with it."
"Okay. I'll tell him."
Thursday evening, Hick came home with 15 hundred-dollar bills. The trailer chapter has ended.
