A PSA announcement

I was talking to mom the other night, and she told me about Postman's Child's accident. Now PC is a single guy with a really nice expensive car. Which means, he is also a speed demon. Not all single guys with expensive cars are like this. Just many of them. Two weeks ago there were some heavy storms that hit the SF area. When it rains out there, it's usually the whole day, not like here with quick one to two hour rains, then it's done for the day. Now he lives in SF and commutes to the South Bay- San Jose area. We are talking about Hwy 101. Imagine slick heavy rains, constantly beating down, and you are speeding along with everyone else trying to do the long commute to work. Well he was in the 2nd left lane and his tire caught a pothole. (Potholes, and such are another rant) He lost control and fishtailed. A car hit him as he fishtailed and he flipped and rolled three times. The car came to a stop on it's roof. He is fine, and had a superficial laceration from the windshield requiring surgical glue only. The car is a goner. He's had it for only 7 months. Who cares about the car. PC walked away. His comment when he sent these pictures to the family was; Wear your seatbelt, and you too can walk away after it stops on its roof.
