Some people still work a t the age of78. I would trust my father out at this time of night before I would trust some of these young teens. He still works. I agree with Lottie this is a very tricky road and lots of deer at night.
OH my goodness…I agree w/you Lottie D
Wow! How fast was he going? And WHAT in world was a 78 year old doing out that time of the morning?
Questions aside. Breastworks road is a little tricky there. I hope he is doing alright.
