Think Before You Drink And Drive


This was out front of my building the other night. It seems the person in the blue truck was driving drunk and travelling at a high rate of speed. He came around the corned of 1st NW and Fairford St West and jumped the raised median. He then went head on into the silver truck and caused a 6 car chain reaction. 5 of the vehicles where towed away as they where damaged so badly the police did not want then to be driven. All of the owners of the parked cars where attending a Dolly Parton concert at Mosaic Place here in Moose Jaw. I was unable to stay standing long enough for the people to come out of the stadium but I am sure they where in sock over losing such a valuable possession that they worked very hard to obtain. One stated for the local news paper that she felt very violated (From the Times Herald). I know first hand how an addiction to drinking can destroy lives. I saw my brother turn from a fit and able man with a family into a person who ended up alone in a care home unable to take care of himself. He lost it all, his jobs, his family and his mobility and ability to care for himself. I have known people who have had a family member taken from them by a crash and witnessed the pain that will never leave them destroy them. To anyone who thinking that drinking and driving is no big deal, you are with no doubt in my mind a fool. I have even heard people say "I drive better drunk because I am more careful". The folly of that statement can not be imparted on them. They honestly believe it. I can only think God that no one was hurt badly or killed in this indecent. Please if you have to drink (and I do drink) think before you crab the keys. Think of your life and the lives of others.

HOW TO FIX BLOGGER FROM DOUBLE SPACING LINES OF TEXT

Image
When you click on the editor to type text, it changes to "Paragraph" instead of "Normal". This causes there to be a double space between lines. If your trying to do a list, this is a serious piss off. So you have to click where it now says "Paragraph" and set it back to "Normal". I've had it a couple times not stay, and had to select all then set it to Normal again. As well it puts in a leading space (indentation of 1 space) you may want to delete as well, or your list won't look quite right at the top. It used to stay where you put it, but now it just up and changes it to Paragraph for literally no reason - even if you first set it to Normal - you click and POOF it changes.

YEAH THAT'S NOT A SCAM, I'LL EMAIL YOU RIGHT AWAY LOL

 The anatomy of a scam. This is the exact format I've seen several times on other people's videos on YouTube (in the comments). See if you went to my channel the latest video would be at the top of the list and this was on an older one. There is literally an email link in my profile on YouTube and it was not used (even if it was I'd not fall for this crap). They use the words "your family" to make you react emotionally. You have thoughts like "Is someone hurt or in trouble"? This is almost always a way to try and get "money to your family member in need". Or it's a way to get information out of you. Sometimes it's a long lost relative you never freaking heard of leaving you money. There will always be a fee you need to pay for the legal matters to be cleared up and you to get the money. SCAM. It's interesting I've seen so many people reaching out on YouTube to people about "their family" this few months.
