It's tragic, what this man is going through with his son. It would be just as tragic had he taken the lives of one, or more, of those children on that sidewalk. There is no excuse for driving while impaired. Hopefully, his attorney will work out a plea bargain and you won't have to testify.

I lost an entire Carradice Super C saddle bag! The bagman came loose and somehow fell off without me noticing. Boy was I surprised when I got to work and it wasn't there! Someone found it and used my cell phone to call my wife. Got it back intact later that day. Jay On Saturday, October 28,
