Default Unfortunate Incident @ TTP...





Sorry for the quality, I am charging up our digital camera now.

Jon just left the shop heading down Van Houten Ave, a silver bug with a young dumb chick driving pulled out of a side street right in front of jon. he locked it up but didnt have the time to stop.

I went to the ER with Jon and unfortunately we got stuck there until the AM hours! Lots of cuts/bruises/soreness. Jon is ok though he is hobbling around!

it is amazing that in this day and age, when a car can do everything but wipe your *** for you, people still can't seem to find the time to look where they are going.
best wishes to jon, get well soon.

I hope he's alright, best wishes. Being on the road walking, riding, driving, or whatever is scary because you don't know who's not paying attention, who's drunk or high, who's sleeping or whatever.

Damn, hope he has a speedy recovery. There's just too many careless drivers out there, it's rediculous. I was following a cop once and someone cut right onto the road right in front of the cop and went the opposite direction to that we were travelling. I was like "WHAT THE *UCK!". Cop had to slam on the brakes, but he made a quick U-turn and got his *** ... I slept well that night ... lol
