quack 0 #1 December 20, 2006 So it's 00:30 and I'm typing away at my computer. I hear a car whooshing by on the street in front of my place. Then I hear the impact. That's some pretty good speed when you can hear it through the double panes. And it's a 60 kmh zone (until you've had a few, apparently). I look outside and see the remnants of a car, half way up the block, parts of it strewn about. Really it was just half a car. And a van that's usually parked on the street, moved considerably. Other motorists are already stopping to assist, so I call 911. Pretty good response time (about 6 minutes - not bad during the holiday season). What gets me is the news crew that is on the scene in 5 minutes. It shouldn't surprise me, since the media scans the police radios. But jeez, Oh yeah, drunk driver, nice and relaxed when he sailed into the van, so it looks like he'll be fine. But you have to understand, mental illness is like cholesterol. There is the good kind and the bad. Without the good kind- less flavor to life. - Serge A. Storms Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Must be nice that the media don't have to clear prior calls for service to get going to a major accident scene.--"When I die, may I be surrounded by scattered chrome and burning gasoline."

So he stayed in his suburban assault vehicle until the flashy lights were there. Makes for better footage. But you have to understand, mental illness is like cholesterol.
