I hope none of you were involved in this 40 car pileup.

    I can't imagine being in one of the big trucks knowing that you can easily kill someone. A couple drivers looked like they intentionally ditched into the woods.
    Please. Please contact me a ben62670 @ yahoo.com. Make sure to include who you are, and you are from Polk so I don't delete your email. Also I am now physically unable to work on any projects. If you need help let these guys know. There are many people who will help if you let them know where you are.
    Thanks
    Ben

    I just talked to Jesse and he was NOT involved. I don't know Mark's number.

    Wow...good to hear that the Polkies are all safe. That looks like a bad wreck...ya gotta watch that this time of year.

    My condolences and prayers go out to the families of the two people who didn't make it, and I hope that everyone else involved will be alright.

    I know that stretch of highway very well, some steep grades and at a higher elevation, so things get nasty quickly.

    Prayers go out to the families of the people who lost their lives there.

    Damn scary stuff. THe highway by my house has been closed off on two separate occasions the past two weeks because of similar multi-vehicle accidents (though not quite as many involved).
    If you will it, dude, it is no dream.

    Unfortunately incidents like that are usually caused by one nervous driver who feels his car sliding and reacts by slamming the brakes on.....then all hell breaks loose.

    My condolences to your next of kin Mark. I wasn't aware of your passing.

    I had simply forgotten that Jesse was a vampire....and should have known better than to worry about him.
