    My prayers are with Jerry Hendrix and his family. I’m also praying for those taking care of him!

    The left turn lane southbound needs a red arrow… the bend of the road can make it impossible to see northbound traffic when turning on the green…

    People honk at me, but I won’t turn left if there is ANY doubt in my mind…. too many accidents.
