And from Uncle Albert - a Darke County over-the-road truck driver:
"And again today in Shell Lake, Arkansas. Texting n driving, woman was about 26ish ran off the median edge of the road, got in the gravel n hit the safety cable anchor post n bounced across the interstate in front of a semi n got slammed/launched into another car/suv...luckily I seen her drifting worse n worse n let off the accelerator when I was about 400 feet from her n 3 seconds later sh** was flying everywhere...the truck driver she'd just passed said she was looking down n texting n that's when she was drifting sadly he's the one she shot in front of after the pole...he's ok...she's alive but her face won't be so pretty for a long time...I'm glad she lived, that everyone did, but I also can't help but be glad she will be reminded of her stupidity, carelessness, n disregard for others every time she looks in the mirror for a long time...I understand the convenience of phones I truly do. N I understand that some hate to talk and would rather text....But do you hate it enough to die over it??? or kill it n spend your time in prison n the rest in your minds prison knowing what you did???...pull the he** over!! group text your driving and call if its important...it's not Chinese arithmetic people...it's simple death that can be avoided..."

"Tonight about an hour north of Houston, right in front of myself, 2 other Trucks n 2 cars a guy lost control, flipped, got ejected the vehicle continued flipping n went over the side of the over pass with his wife n daughter inside....somehow they didn't have a scratch or bump...The man had no pulse, several fractures obvious upon approach one of the other guys said he knew CPR also n we checked his airway n I went to start compressions n his chest was mush...That father n husband died in the filthy grass of the highway 59 median a mangled mess n abandoned his wife n daughter...all for texting n driving!!! his wife n daughter both said they warned him he shouldn't n should pay attention to the traffic...he didn't listen...now he's dead...PUT THE DAM PHONE DOWN N DRIVE!!!!! I'm seriously sick of seeing your ignorant dead bodies while I'm trying to work n stay alive dodging you idiots!!! Is it worth it?  Is it???  Good night."  (This is how he wrote it. I only omitted a curse word)

"Sometimes all you need is for someone to just be there, even if they can't solve your problems. Just knowing there is someone who cares can make all the difference!" sun.gazing.com

The best is yet to be!!!      MONA
