Pilot -- I sympathize with you about your wife backing over your Irises. My husband has managed to back into my Iris Lane on at least four occasions (maybe five) (or six) -- crushing fans, destroying markers, and even breaking off edges of the driveway. I sucked it up and didn't say anything the first time. The second time I scowled and whined. The third time I had a minor temper tantrum. The fourth time I stormed into the house and demanded an explanation and a solution. The fifth time I threatened his life. He then FINALLY decided to change the way that he exits the property.
I'm glad that your Cherokee Blaze resurrected itself.
