And what country can preserve its liberties if their rulers are not warned from time to time that their people preserve the spirit of resistance? Let them take arms. The remedy is to set them right as to facts, pardon and pacify them. What signify a few lives lost in a century or two? The tree of liberty must be refreshed from time to time with the blood of patriots and tyrants.
I used to deliver new Jeeps. Once, at a dealer in NJ, I was waiting to get my cars checked in and a mechanic walked up to the service managers desk and asked, "What happened to the yellow Wrangler that was in my bay?" Service Manager tells him, "I thought you were done with it, so I gave it back to the customer." At that point the mechanic dropped 20 lug nuts on the counter. He said, "I couldn't get the wheels off to rotate the tires, so I sprayed them to get the wheels off." So there's this young girl driving around without a lug nut holding her wheels on. They called the local police to get the cops to look for her and apparently found her before the wheels came off. that service manager was sweating bullets until they found her.
11 days before this past Thanksgiving a deer took out my Tacoma - totaled it - then on Thanksgiving Day, five minutes after departing the family get-together and less than a minute inside the Maryland state line, deer #2 bounced off the driver's side window and took out the mirror on the rental car. Why aren't we eating deer instead of turkey on Thanksgiving?!
One of the many states that allow right on red (after stop)? Driver of the struck car could have been quite legally getting in position to turn after the sole approaching car passed. The oncoming vehicle tapped the brakes and the tires came off. Interesting what the police will have to say after viewing the traffic cam footage.
The car that lost thre tires was in the left-hand lane. There's no reason in the world why a car couldn't or shouldn't turn right into the right-hand lane in any of the many states where right on red after stopping is legal.
Mondays...

ReplyDeleteBecause, "Bambi!" Darn that Walt Disney!
DeleteKarma for the driver of the white care who couldn't wait behind the stop line until the road was clear.

DeleteHah, I was going to say, maybe the Jeep driver used to be a submarine commander...
