I just saw a local news article about a repeat DUI offender hitting a cyclist, and PROPS! to our very own Susan for calling it in! I can't imagine watching a scene like that unfold - but want to thank you for doing the right thing. You Rock!

I can't even begin to imagine how powerless you felt Susan, knowing the cyclist was going to get hit and knowing there was nothing you could do to stop it. I'm just glad the guy got caught - sadly not before he hit another car! Goodonya!
Life should NOT be a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in an attractive and well preserved body, but rather to skid in sideways, champagne in one hand, strawberries in the other, body thoroughly used up, totally worn out and screaming: "Yeah Baby! What a Ride!"

If the guy's been convicted of drunk driving three times, why is he still out driving a car???

I read a piece in the New Yorker, years ago, about a guy like that. Gets arrested. Goes to jail. Over and over. License gone forever. Not allowed to own a car. But, hey, every once in a while he's back out of jail, steals a car and takes off. Because ... he's crazy.
