It was 70 here yesterday, and last night at 9 it was still in the 60's.

The last forcast I saw was high in the 60's and low's 40. I could live with that all winter:)

The last few years, it seems the fireworks don't bother my horses. We've always had then going off around here alot on the 4th and New Years. Being out here where we are, there is no enforcement of firework laws.

In fact not much of anything is enforced out here:). Yesterday, I did something I've never done. I called the police about a problem. We have a family with 3 boys. I've always said, those boys would be trouble when they hit driving age. And they are. 3 times in the last month I've seen them in their mothers van. And all 3 times they have been driving very ver recklessly. Swerving back and forth down the road. We have lots of curves out here so that makes it even worse. One time with the big door open, and I could see the kids flying around inside. If everytime I've seen them they have been doing that chances are that's the way they are all the time when they're driving.

My son had a wreck this past summer by a differnt kid going around a curve on the wrong side of the road.

REally makes me angry. Yesterday when I was going to town, ANOTHER kid, a girl, went thru a 3 way stop at the end of our road, I'd say she was doing 60. Never slowed down and never looked. Was the icing on the cake, I called a police officer I know, hoping that since he knows me,he may take me seriously and make a call on some parents, or try to patrol a little out here. He hasn't returned my call yet.

The family with the three boys are the ones that bother me the most, I know them. I doubt it will help for the police to call on them tho, but at least there will be a record on their behavior. The mother of these boys have been told by family and friends how bad those boys are, but her response, "I'm tired of people telling me how bad my kids are"

I'm venting, sorry:).

Then at least stop giving them a van that makes them a menace to everyone else!

Good grief. You did that family a favor by calling the cops. They are a tragedy waiting to happen.

The mother ought to be shot for being so stupid. I guess she's too busy to discipline her children. If she wants to let her kids kill themselves by driving recklessly, fine, but she has no right to decide it's ok for them to kill other people, too.

Was your son ok? No serious injuries, I hope.
