Just want to remind everyone to be especially careful when driving this holiday season. I just got a call from my wife this evening telling me that our daughter, her husband and 4 grandbabies (ages 12 to newborn) while driving to Dallas from the Corpus Christi area, went off the road and rolled their truck and boat they were trailering. They were just 45 minutes short of their destination. ALL OCCUPANTS WERE CHECKED OUT BY MEDICAL PERSONNEL AND RELEASED. No word as to why they went off the road as of yet. Personally my guess is he got too tired (7+ hour drive). The truck is totaled, the outboard motor is gone and I guess the boat (a tin one) survived. Dumbass Son-in-Law, in order to save money decided to let the vehicle insurance lapse too. And my wife wonders why I would rather her fly than try and drive from Illinois to Texas by herself.
