    Yep, be safe.

    I remember when I was 14 or 15, we were coming back from cutting firewood in my Dad's truck. The guy in front of us was clearly drunk, watched him veer across the road, run up an embankment, and flip the car. Didn't exactly burst into flames, but it was very much on fire by the time we got pulled over. The guy was out cold, we had to bust out the windshield and drag him out. His BAC ended up being something like twice the legal limit then.

    Anybody who drinks and drives and dies pretty much deserves what they get, IMHO. It's just a shame they usually take out someone else in the process.

    Dumb thieves go to prison, smart ones go to work for the Government.

      Headed to camp for the weekend... I'm actually looking forward to losing cell service too. I need a weekend off being on call and constantly watching that thing.

      Everyone be safe.

          Jealous, need another festy meet. If I had some money I'd be down there. Unemployment = boredom.

          My girlfriends 'stepdad' has been drinking and driving for decades. Hes a straight up alcoholic. How he has never had a DUI or killed anyone is beyond any of us. He's driven 30+ miles home completely blasted from what I've been told. Its only a matter of time.

            Uh, I'm unemployed, have been for 9 months, and I'm going!
            It's not like I have anything pressing to do!
            You can convoy down with me!

            FYI, I don't drink and drive!
