When I was home for lunch yesterday, I heard a weird noise coming from the front of the house. I looked out the front window and saw a lot of dust in the air, as if someone had just driven by on a dirt road. Of course, there is no dirt road in front of my house... I went outside to check it out and found this:

That's my neighbor's mailbox in several pieces scattered around my front yard. It's at least 30' from where it was originally located. In addition to the mailbox, pieces of a little timber wall that separates my yard from the neighbor's were in the road along with some branches from one of the junipers. You could see the tire track about 3' in from the curb coming all the way down the block. Apparently they veered back into the street right at the corner of my lot in order to avoid a street sign and the junipers, but they just clipped one of them. No major damage to my property, but I imagine the neighbor probably isn't happy. I had a cop come by and look at it, but there was no sign of the neighbor.

I like how the mailbox stuck the landing. I give it a 7.8 because it clearly came out of its tuck early.

If I had to guess, I'd say this was probably Christina on another wild bender.
