the dead guy
Yesterday there was a fatal accident on the 2 lane highway from town to our more rural house. When we drove by, they hadn’t yet removed the man’s body from the wreckage. As I tried to distract my son (who is prone to nightmares) to look away, the practicing alcoholic in the passenger starting yelling, “Look, he’s dead! There’s his arm hanging out…blah, blah, blah.” Fuckwit.
So it turns out that the dead guy is a fairly well known drunk/drugged driver (lied his way out of a drunk driving manslaughter conviction some years ago). I guess he took the curve too wide and drove head on into a gravel truck. I thank god that I don’t have to be that guy and that this disease hasn’t killed me yet.
