Short Memories

I'd like to encourage you to go back and read this post. Last night I was in that same exact spot. Same time of night, though not the same time of year. I watched a young African American male in dark clothing run across the same stretch of road where there are still no street lights and he was apparently too lazy to use the crosswalk just yards from where he crossed.

You know, it's strange. I can pick out several places on that street where people have lost their lives in traffic accidents and even one 33 year old cardiac arrest due to weather. There are areas where several people have died in the same exact place. It amuses me that people get skeeved out in cemeteries. You might want to start paying attention to where they lost their lives in the first place.

I always wear a seat belt. Even in a parking lot where I'm only driving a few feet. I never drive drunk or with someone who is drunk. I don't ride a motorcycle with someone who is reckless. You can laugh, you can call me a dork, you can roll your eyes at me because I won't start my car until you are using available safety equipment. I don't give a flying hoot. But my brothers won't be scraping my body parts off of the road because I was being stupid.
