Default Editorial hissy fit
Highway construction zones:

A highway worker was struck only a couple miles from my house this morning in a clearly marked construction zone. He is in critical condition and it's touch-and-go.

It never ceases to disgust or amaze me how many of our fellow Americans live as if they are above the law. Speeding is a crime, speeding in a construction zone is a crime AND a disturbing reminder of how little we care about one another as human beings.

As summer begins, we will surely hear more and more similar stories and I implore everyone to stay alert, obey the LAW, and if you're adult enough to drive, act like an adult, put your *&%$# toys away and just drive.

Be smart, be safe.

Thank you.

I Ditto that Amen.

I will say a prayer for that worker, AMN. I hope he/she will be OK.

Warning, graphic video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vKm0s2xi3YU

Everyone should be forced to watch this type of video before they drive or renew their dl. It should be part of drivers education.

to me driving is a privilege, not a right.
the older i get the more careful i get.
there was a time that i felt in a hurry all the time but that has changed.
