Ppl underestimate how much of a blessing it is to come back home. Praying everyone is ok

@montebelloUserjax that one has to hurt. Probably not an immediate death. Slow but surely

i hate this. a passenger has passed and both the driver and other passenger has to live the rest of their lives knowing how preventable it was. rest in peace and condolences to the friends and family left behind.

Alcohol and driving don’t mix. No alcohol since 2015

Northridge trauma is not good. UCLA needs to open a Trauma center at that West Valley ER. And nothing good happens after midnight with cars and speeding.
