Some visitors you just don't want

Got home from work today and pulled up into the driveway and the skirting around the trailer looked beat up. Seems someone tried to beat a truck and not only totalled the guys truck but flew up my driveway and went airborne against the side of the trailer!!

Where the side is all torn up is where the car was against the side of the trailer, and in the pic is after they rolled it off the house!!

We had some snow last night and the wife almost didn't take her convertable to work. Good thing she did because if she hadn't it would have been totalled too!!

That's awful... I'm glad you all didn't get hurt but I'm sure that would have been wild if you had been inside when it happened

hopefully they have good insurance and i am glad no body got hurt

Glad it wasn't any worse.

Texting?

NO not everybody, I don't and won't takes too much attention away from driving. I logged 1050 miles yesterday and don't have time for that stuff. Louisville Ky to Auburn Al and back.

that "everybody does it" attitude is what gets a lot of people in trouble, like, here try this cocaine it'll make you feel really cool, "everybody does it"

You are correct. I am not condoning texting while driving. I AM however saying that a lot of folks do text/ eat/drink/ read /cell phone convos while driving and these things kill innocent bystanders EVERY DAY.

I don't text either. Takes 2 fingers to type. Calls come thru the radio. I like that. My conversations are usually purdy short unless I am talking to Vonna.

Looks like you may have to install some catch cables along the road like they did here along the Interstate. For some reason last five years or so people can't even stay on their side of a 4 lane interstate highway with a wide divided median.

I saw an old women using a magnifying glass the other day to read text on her cellphone ( I ain't lying)

Saw a lady in front of me the other day texting,smoking a cigarette and eating something....she had a baby in the back seat. (I ain't lying)

Had a guy texting beside me crossed over the line and I had to go on the shoulder to miss him....he never even knew it. ( I ain't lying)

Had a lady cross over the center line on a two lane highway and would have hit me head on had I not took the shoulder...I could see her holding the phone on the steering wheel. (I ain't lying)

Got about a hundred more

Stayed behind a you fellow that was texting and weaving all over 2 lanes of traffic to the point I could not pass. We came to a red light and I pulled up beside him and gave him a hand signal indicating he was weaving. I got a hand signal back.

Hahahahahahahaha that is so funny RCC!!!!

One reason i do not carry a fire arm.

Hey RCC, that was just a direction indicator. You know, kinda like the arm out the window turn indicator.
