Around 0230hrs this AM we hear a horrendous crash directly below our bedroom window. Jump up look out the window and see a car sitting in our flower garden.
LONG story short.....We live on a VERY quite side street with virtually no traffic.
The dude (a next door neighbor) was drunk as a skunk. He skimmed off a power pole in front of my house and up into a wall in our front yard.

We learn from his buddy (also a next door neighbor - 4 unit apartment BTW) that he just took him to the local Mental Health crisis center for suicide tenancies.
We figure he was attempting suicide given the fact there where NO skid marks and he made a sharp turn (towards the power pole) right after skimming off a parked Explorer. There are other indicators as well....
Here's the IRONY in all of this mess! My wife just happenes to be the Executive Director of the local Suicide Prevention Coalition!!
Things work in weird ways huh ???? :angel:
