    Default Sleep happens

    Best wishes on recovery from the injury. I lost a good friend in the Navy from falling asleep. I've 'almost' fallen asleep behind the wheel. Now I know my limits and keep a good blanket and pillow on the drives. Scary stuff. Glad you're ok.

    Friends don't let friends drive asleep.

    Good to hear it wasn't too bad.
    Could have been a LOT worse.

    Not strong enough to fly through 8" concrete walls with the greatest of ease ?
    Does anyone think I will be sent a bill to repair the wall ?

    when my friend had a front tire on his semi blow and he went off the road, they charged him $1,150.00 total, $700.00 for cones and traffic control, $450.00 for asphalt and labor. and that was just to patch the groove that it left on I-25. good thing for insurance, they covered it. so I would say yes, the bill will be in the mail.

    I just took a defensive driver class saturday and you are VERY lucky to be alive. That is a scary situation and I am glad you made it out. Good luck. [blackeye]
