I...I don't think you sound harsh at all Cliff! I was so torn when it happened because I wasn't sure if it was a big enough deal to bother the police with here... I tried to call Paul and of course his phone rang in his sweatshirt pocket which was right next to me.Cammie Dianehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07137080807945525006noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8188078120365131355.post-28773085727600048712013-02-01T21:24:40.619-05:002013-02-01T21:24:40.619-05:00Ok, here's the deal...
I've been driving ...Ok, here's the deal...<br /><br />I've been driving a school bus since my tree work is really slow in the winter. As a learning experience, school bus driving has been a big plus. <br /><br />The guy driving the truck on your street would (legally, anyhow) have a commercial drivers license (CDL). Anyone having a CDL is considered a "professional" driver and is held to a higher standard than regularly licensed drivers.<br /><br />Therefore, when a commercial truck is causing mayhem, you can safely assume something is very wrong. The driver may be impaired by drugs or alcohol, he may not have a CDL and may not know what he is doing... Frankly, I can't think of any other reasons for what happened.<br /><br />Recognizing the odd things in life and deciding to get involved just may save a life someday.<br /><br />I know you will have prayed for the driver who hit your tree. You might give me the benefit of a few words sent heavenward too. I know that what I have written probably sounds harsh, I'm sorry, but obviously I feel passionately about safe driving. :)<br /><br />God bless you & yours!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8188078120365131355.post-321216762604760532013-01-31T20:47:49.868-05:002013-01-31T20:47:49.868-05:00I was standing there for a good five minutes tryin...I was standing there for a good five minutes trying to figure out if hitting the tree was a big enough emergency to call 911 about...<br /><br />If I'd seen the power line before the power company got there I definitely would have called!<br /><br />And the city did come out and get the tree branch today, which made me very happy (and Sadie even happier watching them!).
