On my way to the hobby shop at about 12:30 this afternoon to spend some cash I saw a guy swerving all over the road, way over onto the shoulder on then back over to the other side of the road. He would then get right up on the bumper of the vehicle in front of him. He got a ways away from me before I decided he was drunk without a doubt. Caught up with him and called 911. Gave the vehicle information and the 991 person asked if I would continue to follow him, I already knew I would.
Well after he pulled off the freeway and into a residential area he finally figured out I was following him and started to drive on circles. He then pulled into a business area and parked, I went down the street a ways, turned around and parked in the lot across from him and waited for the Police.
They showed up a few minutes later. Guy got out of his vehicle and could barely stand up. They administered the breathalizer and put cuffs on him.
One officer came over and thanked me, told me the guy has a .33 blood/alchhol level (legal limit in Minnesota is point zero-eight) so he was 4 times over the limit, also had numerrous previous DWI's. Policeman said he would forfeit his vehilce and probably spend some time in jail. Looked like he is loosing a fairly new and expensive Ford Taurus.
Good to get him off the road as sooner or later he would harm someboby, at the same time you almost feel bad for the guy too, looked to be in his mid twenties, and he already has a problem with alchohol.
I have no sympathy for a total POS like that. One such killed my Fiancee many years ago in California. F*** the B******
Sorry, Buck, I am in a bad mood anyways. I got laid off monday and should have collected my check today, except they either did not write it or it got lost. Either way I can't find out because everyone that might be able to untangle it is on "Thanksgiving Vacation". When I tried to contact any of the Management or Payroll or H.R. all I got was Voice-mails advising me to "Have a nice day".
I know. I didn't mean to imply that you did. Like I said, I'm feeling pissed off at the moment. Not that I haven't gotten three sheets on occation, but I always figured that if I had the money to go out, I had the money to call a cab. Otherwise I have gotten drunk at home. I guess that it hit close, I still miss her, even though I found someone else later.
Cant't blame you for being PO'ed. Hopefully something better comes along jobwise for you soon.
What annoyed me today, got a Pneumonia shot in the right arm this past Wednesday and my whole upper right shoulder had been extremely sore since Thursday. Has been keeping me from sleeping well. Been through worse I guess, but it still annoys me as I can't even go out and shoot the bow.
I was supposed to be going out tonight, to meet up with a friend who has been working abroad for a couple of years. But, got yet another cold, and feeling sh*t !
No energy, aching all over, which makes the arthritis worse, and very lethargic. Just wish I could have a few days of feeling normal.
Almost the same here my firend. I have started sneezing and gotten sore throat. My BP is loitering like a ( I won't say who ) in an empty shop. I'm feeling like being blindsided by a T-34.
