A home for those who love almost everything about The Ticket (1310 AM, 96.7 FM, Dallas-Fort Worth), and who would like to discuss -- respectfully and fondly -- their thoughts on how (and whether) to eliminate the "almost."
No, not asleep, just working on getting out a couple of books, including one by another author, and my own latest as an audiobook. Very time-consuming. I do check the site daily and I do listen to the station whenever I can. Just haven't had any sunbursts lately.
Site has seemed a little more civil lately. Thanks for that.
And hope everyone is having a safe holiday season.
Speaking of safety: I was sitting in my car behind a big flatbed tractor/trailer the other day. We were waiting to turn left off an exit ramp onto the surface street. All of a sudden, off to my right I see an old woman in a motorized wheelchair start across the intersection in front of us -- way, way too late to make it across.
Hoped the guy in the flatbed saw her from on high as she passed in front of him close to his front bumper.
He didn't. The light changed and he started to move. I thought there was a good chance was going to see a human being crushed alive under the wheels of the big truck.
She had just begun to emerge from in front of the truck (and into the other left turn lane) when he struck her. He knocked the motorized wheelchair over and she fell out of it and sprawled on her back on the ground, in obvious distress. While other motorists ran to assist her (and the young truck driver leapt from his cab to tend to her), I called 911.
I saw her sit up, and then stand up, and with help her wheelchair was righted and they guided her to the other curb. Police arrived shortly to ensure she was OK.
When I search for the image online, I'm not finding any MTC search result. But I will welcome correction from someone with more time on his or her hands.
By golly, you're right. I thought maybe she was only up for a short time and didn't survive in my memory, but nope, that post had over 200 comments. So shame on me.

And, may Jah forgive me, I thought of Marge.
