Last night a 15 year old was hurt in a roll over after drinking and leaving a party. First we need to have stiffer penalties for adults who supply teenagers with alcohol and drugs. At least this one will live to talk and about it. Not so long ago my niece and son lost a friend of theirs to alcohol, she was thrown from the vehicle as it rolled and it crushed her, she was discovered a short time later as another teen left the same party. I am just thankful that my niece or son wasn't on the road at the same time. But if you think that deterred any of the kids in our community from drinking think again, not a chance, just last weekend there was a party busted and 11 minors written, and the host taken to jail, oh yeah he was tazzered too that night! Damn the luck, would have paid to watch him flailing around and screaming like a girl :)
I can't wait to have our first B.U.D.D Mobile, I only hope that I get calls for rides more than anything, I want so much to make a difference, especailly the type of difference that isn't noticed, it isn't noticed because you don't find out what could have been if you had driven..... does that make sense. There have been more times than I could count that I have driven someone home and along the way passsed someone and thought if So and So had been driving would they have ended thier life? Or thier own life, I would rather get a call at 2 am aksing for a ride than someone else getting that 2 am call "I am sorry to have to tell you..."
