    Just a side step

    I posted this on another forum I’m on that’s a vacation type forum

    One of the people on there comments
    I ordered a new chandelier and tracking showed it was in FT Worth and I hope it wasn’t on that FedEx truck

    I knew a guy
    Had a Cdl for several years but was out of the business when we met. He then got back in
    One day he calls me. He is in New York in a major storm having a hell of a time

    I told him to slow down and feel what’s going on with the peddle
    He goes. I have the cruise on at 55

    OK then

    Wonder if they know for sure how many died. Live news right now says 5 yet other news channels earlier reported 8.

    Im sure they’re still not done digging through that mess
    It’s one thing to dig but another when there might be lives.
    They need to be carful how the remove other vehicles
     
    DoubleO7 Thanks this.

    They should get tickets for reckless endangerment if not thrown in jail for considering now at least eight people have died because of the stupidity
