There are times when talking to people, just makes your head hurt. Helping others has been my life. I don’t mean to be critical, but sometimes a person looks and acts normal, but you know all the puzzle pieces are not together tight. Living in the Trailerhood, I have observed more of the things that go on, than what I saw as a cop answering calls to the parks. As said before, there are good people, normal middle class. Like the man that works late into the night, on cars people bring him to fix, for extra income. Then there are the ones that just don’t want to participate in life or society.

The environment is best described, as if God had taken a giant net, swung it through rush hour traffic, and deposited the catch in one area.

As many can attest, when you have been in any type of skilled work, there are those that will seek you out for advice, whether they really know you or not. There is a young man here, he is a truck driver. What I am about to tell you, demonstrates the loose puzzle piece theory. Intelligent enough to drive an 18 wheeler rig, which he recently fell asleep driving, having an accident (roll over). Resulting in losing his employment, but that’s another subject. He builds Sporting Rifles (AR-15 style). Purchasing the parts and building them, all done legally. Basically what I as a 2nd Amendment supporter, call a Gun Nut. Of course, that’s just my opinion. His wife was involved in an accident recently, and he wanted to know how to find out who was at fault.

However, right there on the second page,

He had scoured over the report, but couldn’t make sense of it. I asked him to email a copy of the report to me. The reports have changed in the 20 years since I left the profession of being a cop, Its gone from 1 page to 5. Most of it just information for insurance companies. However, right there on the second page, was the below “Narrative”, in its own large block. The first page listed her as the driver of Vehicle 1 (V1) the driver of Vehicle 2 (V2) was a male.

V2 WAS TRAVELING NORTH ON I-65 IN THE RIGHT LANE NEAR THE 188 MILE MARKER. V1 WAS TRAVELING NORTH ON I-65 NEAR THE 188 MILE MARKER IN THE LEFT LANE WHILE OVERTAKING V2. AS V1 PASSED V2, IT BEGAN TO ENTER THE LANE OF V2. AS A RESULT, V1 SIDE-SWIPED V2 BEFORE COMING TO A REST. UPON ARRIVAL, THE DRIVER OF V1 SMELLED OF ALCOHOL AND HAD SLURRED SPEECH. THERE WERE OPEN CONTAINERS OF BEER BOTTLES SCATTERED THROUGHOUT THE VEHICLE. THE DRIVER ADMITTED TO DRINKING ALCOHOL LATE INTO THE NIGHT. THE DRIVER ALSO ADMITTED TO TAKING MULTIPLE PRESCRIPTION PILLS AND SMOKING MARIJUANA. THE DRIVER OF V1 WAS THEN ADMINISTERED FIELD SOBRIETY TEST AND WAS ARRESTED FOR DRIVING UNDER THE INFLUENCE.

I gave him the bad news, and referred him to the narrative. Is it just me? Driver of Vehicle one (V1), was the only female involved in the accident, Not to mention, the first clue should have been bonding his significant other out of the Iron Bar Hilton.

There are two other rather shocking /interesting posts about things around here that I just learned about. This stuff, may one day turn into a decent short book. Comments always welcome.
