Last night one of the local football coaches (47 yrs old) was killed by an elderly driver, at night, who was driving in the opposite lane at a high rate of speed. The coaches wife and 2 teen children are in critical care this morning.
If you question the need to get grandpa off the road, NOW is the time to take action. You may help someone younger get the chance to live out their natural life.
The Christmas rush is obscene. I was on the edge of the city (85km away) yesterday to deliver cookies for the girls at the vets and beds, toys and treats for the dog rescue. The traffic was horrendous and I only found as parking spot because I have a handicap permit. Picked up dog food and a bottle of wine and FLED back to farm country. I'm not going near the city again until well after New Years! Time for us all to stay home, enjoy a quiet Christmas and hide until all the madness is over.
This time of year my major concern is drunk drivers and now Canada plans to legalize marijuana ... oh joy, more people behind the wheel out of their minds!
If you have friends who do not drive think of asking them if they need something from the store...
