I was not there but, found out that, the driver was arrested for DWI. It is amazing how high the truck went and struck that poor defenseless tree.

Teresa, as Doug and Gary pointed out, express yourself. It is your right! You were on scene and you had firsthand knowledge. Do not listen to smart arse comments. Like you stated, you were there. I just took my dog for a walk past there earlier today. People also speed through there too. Take care. I did not get to read your comments.

I do not know if, you viewed Steve's comment negatively but, I do not think he was trying to hurt your feelings, I think he was just trying to be funny. It is how one perceives the comment I guess.

The peanut gallery comment wasn't meant to be a slur. Many of us make peanut gallery comments, so I was just telling Teresa not to let comments bother her. If we worried about what people might say, we'd never comment.
