If anyone knows of a good glass shop in Sacramento, please let me know.

Long time ago when we use to have harsh winters and it actually snowed a lot in this country, the winters in Minnesota mean sand and salt on the road daily from Nov-Mar. Couple of busted windshields were expected.

The insurance thing is what first came to mind - not required where some of my cars are registered, but definitely worth it.
If you don't have glass insurance, get behind one of those tractor trailers with a "how's my driving?" number and a busted or missing mudflap. Call them up and tell them that the truck spit a rock up and cracked your windshield. They will typically reimburse you for it.
