Hope everone is ok.

Trying to get to the graveyard?
Amazing how the (truth) statements get all the negative feedback…
You went a little too far…
And now we return to regular programming.
Sad but true. At 6pm there would have been other vehicles in the vicinity, likely. Thank goodness nobody else was struck.
Up go our insurance premiums. Bermuda has some terrible drivers.
There are terrible drivers everywhere, we just seem to have more drunken ones.
YAWN :0
I’m glad no one else was hurt, but I agree with the insurance claims comment, sick of it, people grow up and drive responsibly! All these people that have to go to the ER for accidents that can be avoided take away funds and time from people that really need them. Grow Up!
accidents are a part of life everywhere around the world, why do people make a fuss about them like its brand new. no one plans for them to happen they jus do thats why they are called accidents.
But when it’s something preventable, like driving drunk, that is an added frustration as opposed to something like brake failure or the like.
Agreed, they are a part of life,but drunken ones aren’t! Who’s going to fix the beautiful wall?
Hope the wall makes a full recovery.
I know I know.. some of you will think thats insensitive, but he was allegedly drunk, so..no sympathy here.
