Make it an oak tree

Make it an oak tree
I ran to the local convenience store to get some charcoal for my smokehouse.

Coming out - I note the Explorer that pulled in... Filthy dirty - lots of dings and dents. No license plate. The guy who gets out of the passengers side does a side stagger...nice... Drunk at 9 a.m...  The girl driver (who resembles a rat) appears to be smoking a joint... A whiff as I pass confirms it....

Driver takes a pull off a Monaco (cheap booze).

4 little kids in back seat.


Lovely....


Try not to hit anybody else will ya?

Make it a single car accident.

I'd have a picture of the license plate and be sitting in my car calling 911 so they can get those kids to safety.

Then I'd maybe post about it.

1. No plate.

2. I did not have phone with me. (BIG shock - I didn't even have my gun on me...)


But otherwise - good plan...

Geez, gramps, no cell phone with you? I bet there was a phone in the store.

I would have done what I could to try to protect those kids.

Maybe it's part of being a parent....nah, it's being a decent human.

I realized I needed the charcoal when I was outside - and my left knee and hip are giving me fits - and the wallet was already in the car - so decided to go without. It's only a few minute drive...

I considered the store phone - but figured the drunk passenger (who had gone inside) might make a bit of a scene if I asked to use the phone to report their stupidity....

Kobiashi Maru kinda thing...

An impaired adult - yeah I sort of think the same...just don't fucking hurt anyone else.

The first question I asked my sister-in-law when she called to tell me my first husband died drunk driving was "was anyone else hurt?".

I have ridden with drunken parents. My mother hit and killed a little girl when I was just a baby. Mom's been a drunk since forever.

Kids have no damn choice...as a functioning adult I don't see there being an option when kids are in a car with fucked up grownups.

But you do you.

I'm shocked... you went out in public without a gun!
