Jowl Shaker

Last night the fringe of Winter Storm Gia brushed the I-25 corridor north of Denver. People coped.

After a nice warm day that dried out the roads, we have these messes.

Each one of those sites have clear sightlines – no blind spots. You can only shake your head. Idiots!

Stupid Drivers Rant

I wonder how many police officers, fire fighters, and EMT personnel have an overwhelming urge to slap the stupid out of drivers.

This morning around 0315 on WCR 17 just south of US 34, several emergency vehicles were staged near the railroad tracks. The jurisdiction was probably Johnstown, CO.

The weather was clear with a strong wind. No vision impairments – shaping up to be a 50 mile visibility Colorado day. Traffic at that hour is none to just a few cars. The Great Western Railroad wasn’t operating any trains.

How the hell can someone get in a traffic accident in those conditions? Drunk? Maybe just stupid?

Makes me shake my jowls and pity the emergency personnel that had to deal with the mess. If I were one, I would be tempted to bitch slap the stupid out of the driver.

Hate To Be Right

In my last post I mentioned the clusterfuck that is US 85 North of Greeley, CO.

I don't know any more details. I do know that area has heavy left turn traffic from US 85 to a feeder street to "O" street. Several county buildings are on O street including license plates and the county jail. The "construction" there has been going on for over a year.

Here we are just 1/2 way through 2017 and there have been 202 highway deaths already in Colorado. How many were caused by construction clusterfucks?

Riding For The Brand

My sister and I were raised with a strong work ethic. For better or worse, we passed it on to our offspring.

Yesterday she and her assistant were hit by another vehicle. Her truck is a total loss. She and her assistant went to the hospital to be checked out. Nothing critical, but who knows long term? Both are hurting.

Then my sister arranged for another vehicle. Tomorrow she is off to Wyoming to work five claims. She may be hurting but she rides for the brand.

One claim is interesting. Sumdude managed to shoot his steering column. No other details available.

Fun times ahead for someone. If you must hit someone's vehicle, do not choose an insurance adjuster.
