Yikes !! That's 2 in the last 3 weeks in that part of town. Both forgiving, fortunately.

 

It's still early in the season - everyone, everywhere take care.

If it was NMT she's had a rough life the last 3 years. Glad everyone walked away!

Someone from the forums got a job there, any inside info for the gang?

 

2??? Which was the other?

Once again, if your going to comment on an accident, be very careful what your going to say.

 

We are all very interested and concerned for those involved, but a public forum is not the place for speculation and rumors.

 

Remember, alot of times the families of those involved are watching this forum for information, and nobody would want to unduly hurt them any further.

 

I hope everyone is OK, and back in the bar this evening.

I wish everyone well.
