Crazy day!


Sometimes on the evening of a new moon things get a little strange. Like today. There were 5 motor vehicle accidents here today; two of them were at the intersection of the place I work. The first one was someone who panicked because he thought someone was going to turn left in front of him (that car was actually stopped and waiting) and ended up end over end in the opposite ditch; he will probably be a paraplegic- and the second one was a car that was turning right to come into our gas station and was rear ended by someone else that didn't see them, 5 people to the hospital. There was a fatal head on over across the valley at Wyndell, and two more. A lot of this is because of the 5 day music festival called Shambhala which draws a big crowd of young people ( think drugs and alcohol) with 10, 000 tickets sold; it was sold out this year. It ended last night and most of the people were travelling home today, burned out it seems. I don't have a lot of sympathy for people who drive under the influence of either drugs or alcohol; my sister was killed back in 1967 by a drunk driver who got off all charges.
One of my sisters had her car give out on her today, and get towed away, and another sister got evicted. What the hay is going on! Does anybody out there have any good news from today?

I give up!

Oh dear, troubles abound. Hope your sisters both are able to get things sorted out quickly .I can't give you any great news either at the moment , but maybe it will come for all of us soon.

Damn girl. There is something going on up there, huh?
I'm so sorry for your loss. That makes it extra tough to watch all this going on. I don't have a lot of sympathy for people driving under the influence either. Please stay safe yourself and ride your horse. That's got to make things better :)

Michele said...

yeah its pretty bad when you go to everyone you know of to get help for eviction and they all turn you down. all of em. doesn't give you much hope at all.

Crazy! I have nothing good to report here either.

I'm sorry about your sister. My family has also been affected by drunk drivers, too. Such a pointless and stupid loss. How can people be so selfish?

I hope tomorrow is a big improvement. Maybe for now, you can act like kitty and just curl up and sleep until things get better :)
