Nice Dire Straits reference for what it’s worth
If you are involved in a vehicle accident get out of the road
Speed kills.
@RICARDOH..…Even hippies in the 60s knew that.
Was this the cause of the Astound outage that is still ongoing in Concord? They claim it was because fiber was knocked out at an intersection.
Astound has been digging underground all morning on Clayton Rd. They finally left so maybe it’s up now
My heart goes out to the family. The poor fellow who was killed was just married one month ago today. My heart, thoughts and prayers go out to the family.
Sending so much love and prayers to his brand new wife who’s now far too young to be widowed. My truly absolutely breaks for them
