Re: Almost was killed at work today....
Yikes! Ryger, glad your okay too!
Thats enough to make me stay off our roads after 11:00 pm. In my area there are alot of bars-- tons of them everywhere with lots of intoxicated folks behind the wheel. We don't live in a very upscale part of the State-- Everyone is poor working slave class- thus the need to drink out their frustrations. The running joke in our area is that we have as many bars as churches here.-- which means like 100 in each township.
Ive been on the road behind many folks leaving the local bars. Thank God I was never in FRONT of them, but with a drunk who is also on Heroin-- they could do wierd things like run the car in reverse up a road, etc.
The owner's daughter of the company I work at was killed 2 years ago from a guy speeding up an exit ramp in the wrong direction. Her funeral was closed casket.
I remember seeing a documentary of a young girl coming back from a party who is burnt beyond recognition because of someone also coming back from a party drunk-- who hit the car she was in- killing all her friends but her- and now she has to live severely burnt. The story was on Oprah-
