Maybe it is time to retire or change professions?
Quote: mickeycrimmDo you know what the name of this thread is? Kiss my ass. I'll never retire.
Nope, probably will not retire, I would be bored. I would never attempt to become a full time gambler if it means small balls, well so be it.

Casinos are fun but for me only several times a year and maybe the local ones a few times added in also. Every weekend when I lived in New Jersey was pretty boring after a while.

Again thanks for the thoughts. I probably wouldn't have felt the way I do, but I have a 2 and half yr old and I can only imagine his mom, the love of my life telling him, I would never be there again. It is hard enough as we both live in different places and see each other only a few times a month. We are not divorced we choose this because of my company being 250 miles away and not in the same locale.
Understood, but the newspapers would have covered it immediately. The accident and arrest should be public information already out there.
Quote: FleaStiffMost of the laws against texting CAUSE accidents because the driver must hide the phone below the window level and look down at it.
The motor vehicle operator is at fault, period, end of discussion.
The motor vehicle operator chose to do something distracting, dangerous, and unlawful while piloting a two ton 70 MPH bullet in adverse conditions.
The laws against texting while operating that motor vehicle are there to discourage the dangerous behaviour, not unlike laws against speeding.
Nobody made that driver text while driving, surely not a law prohibits exactly that action.
Not really anymore, they have computers that do that now. for example the SuperPawn chain hires people who have no clue what anything is worth. You bring in TV they pop the information into a data base and it tells them the price they can buy it for or loan on it. They usually hire a manager that knows a little about fake watches and things. They rarely deal with exotic crap. Computers, TV's, Gold, Jewelry, tools, video games, electronicsQuote: EvenBobPawn shops are a tough go. They require
you to have permits and licenses and you
need an encyclopedic knowledge of what
the value is of thousands of different
things. .

I have family in Massachusetts and own some property there so I'm very familiar with this story.
On Feb. 11th, a tow truck driver was loading a vehicle onto a flatbed on the Massachusetts Turnpike. A box truck did not move over. Kevin St. Pierre was crushed between the flatbed and the errant box truck. He was 22.
There were over 300 tow trucks in his funeral procession. They came from far and wide. Many didn't know Kevin but felt a kinship to the young man. His name will be added to a memorial at the International Towing and Recovery Museum in Chattanooga, Tennessee. A memorial fund was established for his family.
This was heavily covered by local and national media for days, first the accident and then the funeral. This is all public information that is easily found on the internet, nothing to do with legalities or with a criminal case.
Surely there's something that we could view on the tragedy involving your worker that won't jeopardize any future legal proceedings.

1BB, I am very familiar with this and BTW, I was on the non-profit committee for a number of years in the past, of The Survivor Fund (which is the organization from Miller Industries' ) the largest tow truck manufacturer in the world in Tennessee where that memorial is you mentioned. My employees are not tow truck drivers/operators. I need this to come to fruition within the channels it is taking for many reasons at the moment. I appreciate your concern, you can PM me and we can talk, thanks!
