I think perhaps I'm glad i didn't check in here lately. I'll ask Santa to put chill pills in everyone's stocking. We haven't even started the snow games and every one is tense! Tis the season to be jolly.... or at least kind.

As far as your last comment, real nice, good comeback. Thought of that one all by yourself?

Shows the mentality of people these days. Billie Jean is a professional tennis player. So yokes on you!

The good news is they all walked away, no injuries, or I'd not have said a word. Just skidded off the side and slightly down the embankment.

Karma is real so don't be happy when people get hurt or wish harm on people.

Crazy you start the comment with ha as if it's funny someone got hurt. I told y'all I don't pass on blind curves. I've never passed anybody around the Arctic circle because that is one of the worst places.
