When I was hauling the race car, every so often the owner would decide to send someone along with me. I think that just allowed the team to take their time, and give 18 hours to get to Bakersfield, instead of the normal 20. I was napping in the sleeper we had built in the shell, and next thing I know I'm wide awake after a loud noise, like something hit the side of the truck. I asked what happened, and he said we hit a rabbit. I asked him to pull over to make sure stuff is OK, as it was an awful loud rabbit. After looking at the dually fender, and seeing the green paint on it that was pretty much the same shade as the posts on the side of the road, I drove the rest of the way
Dang green rabbits always causing trouble. |
Oh man. I'm texting with a friend to make plans to get together and he tells me that our other buddy is out of town because his 10-yo nephew hung himself after receiving some kind of punishment from his parents. I can't imagine the combination of heartbreak and guilt that they're probably heaping upon themselves.

A friend of mine from my restaurant days in Miami somehow finagled her way into becoming a "fishing model". She happens to be blond and tan and all the other good stuff and loves fishing, so she left a career as a realtor when she realized charter companies would pay her to pose with bonefish and snapper and the like since she's really into fishing and one of the few young ladies who enjoy the sport. If her photos pop up in my FB feed, I scroll quickly past.
Must be a tough life. |

I know this is probably not the place to have this discussion, but a friend of mine is a teacher and they're dealing with all kinds of suicide threats related to that show "13 Reasons Why". Apparently it kinda glorifies teen suicide.
The whole thing is heartbreaking. |
[MENTION=185471]WhyFi[/MENTION], sorry to hear that, its the kind of thing that is always pretty tough to take. We'll all talk/think about it for a day max, but those parents' lives will never be the same. Just a huge loss...

I don't think I remember dark thoughts like that ever crossing my mind as a 10 year old. |

Teens throw garbage in N.J. osprey nest; pose for live cam photos I lead an annual ride in that area. Probably ride right by that very stand. In addition to ospreys, there are bald eagles in the area. |

As part of that grieving, there must have been some warning signs the parents missed along the way. |

The ENVE sock saga continues. Now occasionally, you can get the socks in your cart without seeing everything in everyone else's cart, too (which is all socks). But when you apply the code to get them free it either says not valid code, or it empties your cart.
I will not stop until I get my free socks, dammit! |

The little lady's fast lane technique is to never use it. She never passes anyone. Yesterday we got behind a cattle truck that was taking a twisty 6% descent at 15mph, just riding Jake brake down real slow. I was freaking out and had to remind her that everyone else was doing 70 and another truck with bad brakes could arrive upon us any second! That's the closest to certain death I've been in a long time.
I went from never hauling anything in my life to pulling a 22ft trailer all over the place, up and down steep windy mountain passes with my wife, kid, and dog in the car. I'm a couple years in now and the panic moments still give me anxiety. Writing this is giving me anxiety. Even the feeling of if you **** this up, your entire family will die, isn't enough to not get drowsy sometimes. Especially when everyone is snoozing. |

Slight correction- Dan sent you photos and said it'd be a violation of his friend's privacy to post them on a random public forum. :innocent:
Lovely mahi mahi indeed. Also, if she's a paid model, I can't imagine she cares a whole lot about strangers seeing her pics. |

No problem sending them to some random internet stranger 1 on 1, though :rolleyes:
