If you have been following the saga of our totaled Prius, you may remember that the police officer at the site of the accident was Chief Workman of the Warrenton Police Department. As I ‘reported’ in my May 31st blog, he was “especially” lovely to us – a really nice man. I did not comment on his stenographic competencies, however.
Or perhaps, it was a “clerical error” back at the office that resulted in the accident report (which finally arrived yesterday) stating that Nyel L. Stevens is married to Nannette Lou Stevens, born February 1, 1944. Come again??? All I can say is, if you’re out there, Nannette – you are one lucky gal! We are really curious as to how Chief Workman (or his clerical staff) got this confused, he having copied, as he did, directly from my drivers’ license. Granted, there are two similarities – our last names (which, in my case anyway, is actually Nyel’s last name) and the month of our birthdays (February).
Otherwise… not so much. Nannette (with three n’s) Lou doesn’t bear much resemblance to Sydney Medora – in fact not even a whispery similarity. Her 1st of February is an entire month away (usually) from my February 28th and 1944 makes her eight years younger than I. I’m not at all sure how such a glitch can happen. Some sort of weird computer error?
Nyel doesn’t seem too concerned about it. Nor am I, really. It’s just that Chief Workman did emphasize that our part of the paperwork needed to be submitted to the State of Oregon within 72 hours of the accident – or as soon thereafter as possible – or we risked Oregon notifying our non-compliance to Washington State which could then result in Nyel’s driver’s license being rescinded. A little simple math tells me it’s been ten days already – more like 240 hours than the requisite 72 – and straightening out this “little glitch” could take a while if the stories about identity theft and proving who you are and all of that stuff come into play. Just sayin’…
I did check out “Nannette Lou Stevens” on Facebook and found a very attractive “Nannette Stevens” in Bend, Oregon. She appears to already have a handsome husband and appears much younger than that 1944 date would indicate, so I’m not bothering to share this information with her. No, no, Nannette!
Can you collect Nannete”s social security? It might be larger than yours. Always look on the bright side.
Wonder why do I have to keep signing in with anme, email and website. Didn’t have to do this before.
