Re: Seen in Print
As the literacy rate declines, you’ll ask yourself why the quality of life continues to deteriorate in ways large and small, and in almost every instance the answer will be: because people stopped reading.

Re: Seen in Print
it takes a fun country to have an advertisement like that.
Re: Seen in Print
It is an advertisement?
Real things like that happen all the time.
Diana Durre of Chambers, Nebraska died after a 75-foot (23 m) Taco Bell sign fell on top of the truck cab she was in. The pole broke at a welded joint about 15 feet (4.5 m) above the ground owing to strong winds. The sign fell right on top of the quad-cab pickup. Diana was meeting a Wyoming couple to sell them some dogs. They had agreed to meet in North Platte, Nebraska at about 1 p.m., "right underneath the big Taco Bell sign." North Platte's Animal Control Division took two Yorkie dogs to the shelter. The Wyoming couple showed up after the accident.

Things fall all the time.
A giant Nike soccer ball falls on top of a car and completely destroys its body. The ball was hanging on the top of a store, in front of which the car was parked, when suddenly the support loosened and the ball fell on the car.

Re: Seen in Print
Really.
Are all of you folks wondering how that rock smashed this poor Toyota Yaris? Apparently, a lorry loaded with rocks accidentally dropped the 8 ton stone on the small car. "The driver said he looked in his mirror and saw the rock slipping but it was on the car before he could do anything. If anyone had been in it, they would not have stood a chance," said a photographer who saw the whole thing. The good news is that the Yaris was parked, but the bad news came after the driver saw it.

I cannot recommend anyone actually visit the source given above. It is one of those sites that downloads continuously while you are linked to it. As soon as I post this I am going to erase what it gave me.

That boulder killed car reminds me of something somebody said earlier today to me, "You never really know how much time you have to live. (And reminding me of what Mother Theresa of Calcutta said,) Yesterday is gone. Tomorrow is not yet come. We only have today. "

No such thing as spare time
No such thing as free time
No such thing as down time
All you got is life time
Go.

Very nice , Rufus.
Re: Seen in Print
One day i rounded the corner of I95 495 split north of dc. To what was a little more then the usual back up. as traffic got funneled into one lane. I came up to an accident scene. A tractor trailer Hauling 8x8x10 lumber lost it's load from an overpass. It was the most horrifying scene of death i have ever witnessed.
I spend entirely too many hours a day tying my shoes

Re: Seen in Print
I was going to mention, earlier, the viewpoint that vehicles play a huge part in the destruction and permanent alteration of human lives. Are you willing to describe some of what you saw?
