Holy Damn.
I was just doing my hourly news check and as usual I begin with the Az Republic...and this headline just made my heart stop:

Teen driver critically injured in high-speed crash

My oldest just started driving recently and I swear every time I see a report of an accident involving a teenager my heart stop for a second until I see the make of the vehicle to reassure myself it's not him.

Fortunately for me he is a careful driver. But I still hate this. I hate this. I hate this.

Before my sister and I allowed our father's license to expire and not renew it, I had the same reaction whenever there was an accident involving senior citizens. I empathize, Radi.

Thank you Deet. It's even worse because I'm such a control freak-- don't do well when put in situations like this.

That would seem mean of you two, Deet, if it weren't for circumstances. Could he not renew it himself if he really wanted to drive?

Linnie, at the time he was 84 years old, blind as a bat and extremely hard of hearing. And he drove a maximum of 30 mph. He was a hazard on the road. Think Mr. Magoo, if you get the reference. He was in New York at the time, but he is a legal Florida resident so when the licence renewal came in the mail down there, my sister just let it expire, and I agreed with her decision. And truth be told, he seemed relieved that he didn't have to drive anymore.

It'd be super nifty if I could clone myself. I might actually get *all* my work done within the confines of a normal work day!

Tough day, Jaily?

Sounds about right D2, in that case! We never had that problem because two of my grandparents died a while ago, my remaining granny is in her 70s and has never driven, and my remaining grandad is in his 80s and doesn't drive. Although he does go to Spain and part-ay. Mad, I know, but try to stop him.

I'm not giving my sister, The Hopeless Case, enough credit, it seems. Funny moment; We were watching a talent competition on British TV just there, and there was a man who was 79 doing a tap dance. He was actually quite nifty. Anyway, when he finished, the judges, including Simon Cowell, had to decide whether to put him through or not. He got through, and they started playing a predictable mushy track, from TITANIC. I said "Oh, that's predictably cheesy. What's that got to do with anything?". My sister promptly replied; "Were you not listening? his name is Jack!".

She's too cute.

I thought SOMEONE qould find her cute, at least!

Well, it's 11.48 and I'm not going to keep staying up like I have been. Time to go to bed at a reasonable hour again I think.

Nighty-night!
