    You gotta hand it to those darn Irish: their pilots have the most handsomest uniforms (as these commercial pilots for Aer Lingus depict here)

    Ñote: Contrary to popular belief, 'Aer Lingus' does NOT refer to a part of the female anatomy.

    Makes me sad… 😢

    Maybe the driver was a total a-hole, maybe he wasn’t, but some bad decisions were made. What a waste of a new truck, not to mention the insurance premiums that can only be imagined following this incident on the driver’s record.

    Such a young tree too… you think you’re tough in your big truck? Not so much, apparently.

    No obvious signs that any attempt at braking was made, either… 😬

    Alea jacta est!

    So cute, a truck hugging a tree. Someone needs to tell that driver that that's not the way to make your vehicle green.

    I do hope the driver and any passengers are ok

    I believe we can rule out that truck was NOT built Ford tough......

    How do we know that the truck wasn't peacefully parked alongside the road when it was viciously attacked by a rogue tree ? 🤔
    I think that we're all jumping to premature conclusions before the proper authorities have had the opportunity to tell us what to think 🤔

    I mean, it could become a meme.

    I bet that guy has on white velcro shoes. The hat and shoes are a matched set.

    I can't decide which hat-wearing style I dislike more - the one above, or that west coast flat-ironed scoop thing, where the kids sometimes tuck their ears in, too.

    we had not one but two snow squalls today. The one right near dusk was the more intense -- white out conditions for several minutes. Springtime New England style!

    Yea, what is up with that?
    Brian Deegan did that way back when, seems to have caught on.
