    My wife shakes her head when we go out...I back her Ram into parking spaces, and the 1st couple days, I start turning the wheel the wrong way as if I am backing a trailer...and I can't break the habit of looking for my hood mirrors before changing lanes.

    I'm finally getting better at not making wide turns. I used to yell at my wife that she's gonna hit the curb cause she's not turning wide enough. She did once or twice. LOL

    Had to stop earlier than planned because I-40 was closed in Arizona because of a fatal accident. So I am doing my reset in Ash Fork. I could make it to Victorville with my hours but I would only have had a couple hours left on my 70 after I emptied out so we decided a reset made sense.

    I could see negligent homicide maybe, but murder seems kinda of a reach.

    WICHITA, Kan. (KAKE) — A truck driver has been arrested in the death of a 57-year-old man at a truck stop in north Wichita.

    Sedgwick County Jail records show 46-year-old Travis Briscoe of Jenks, Oklahoma, was booked for unintentional but reckless second-degree murder. He was held on $250,000 bond Thursday afternoon.

    Lt. Doug Gerdes with the Wichita Police Department said first responders were called at around 5:25 p.m. to the Love’s Travel Stop near 21st Street North and I-135. They arrived to find a man fatally injured in a parking stall.

    Wichita police said Thursday that investigators determined that the victim, Abdelmuttalib Mohammed of Georgia, had been in an altercation with the suspect, whom he did not know.

    "During the altercation, the suspect began backing into a parking stall with his semitractor-trailer striking Mr. Mohammed," WPD said.

    The investigation is ongoing. Anyone with information is asked to call WPD Investigations at (316)-350-3686. To remain anonymous, submit a tip through Crime Stoppers at (316) 267-2111.

    The incident happened just an hour before a different crash that left a boy dead in southeast Wichita.

    Sounds to me like it was an intentional act. The only thing keeping it from being 1st degree is premeditation.
