OK, I was shaken and upset when I typed that outburst last night. I'm still shaken, but happy it's over. Jerry came to pick up Brett and the car (which made it to his house, PHEW!) I miss Brett while he's staying there, but I'm glad that I don't have to worry about things as much. Jerry can handle him just fine, and it appears he won't be driving, unless it's to or from work. Jerry will see to that.
For the local's, I'll give more detail. Heading from here to Oak Grove, picture FF, which has the two, quite large, sweeping 90 degree turns. On the first one (the North one,) Brett just went off the road, about halfway through the curve. If you go that way, you'll see the very deep tire tracks through the mud. It's about a 3' steep drop, before you hit level ground. That's what happened to the headlights, I'm sure. Kevin and I stopped and walked it today. Makes me even more thankful he's alive. It could have easily flipped, and he had the top down.
I can't get over that it only took a week to "impress" the neighbors. We now look like Jerry Springer rejects. I hope Tracy reads this, because she knows everyone, and she can tell them that it was the boy, not some kind of drunken brawl between me and Kevin. ROFL.
We went, after work, up North of the river to a coworkers house. She had a couch for sale, and we bought it for the family room. It's been in the basement for years, so it needs aired out. I will let it sit on the back porch tonight, use upholstery cleaner on it tomorrow, and Febreeze it the next morning. That should do it. I'll get a cover for it, of some sort. It's sort of 80's orange floral. Come on, you can picture it. The real big flowers all over. We had one like it, when I was a kid. LOL
I'm relaxed, and calm. God was watching Brett, or he would have flipped that car. Jerry has control of the situation now. He's a great dad, and he'll handle things just fine.

I emailed Tracy. She's cool, she'll come through.
Me thinks you worry to much about neighbors...one thing about Wellington is that nearly everybody has a few skeletons that everyone else knows about. Hell, that is tame stuff there. You know damn well the local cop was in Jerry's drive a time or two way back when (I know, I was there)...It's a family tradition.
Hmmm I wonder what I can tell the neighbors...........LOL.
No really we are thankful that Brett is ok. Jimmy was really worried about him. If you all need anything we are right down the street...............You really need to watch out the for the crazy pink house people..........They give me the shivers......
you know...we've lived in this neighborhood for years and nobody really knew us they keep to themselves) until the day some girl was banging on our door to let her in or some guy running down the street was gonna beat her to death. So...7 cop cars, a fire truck, and a police paddywagon later, according to the neighbors at the end of the street...Jesse supposedly beat me half to death and that's why all the cops were at our house. WTHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH????? Ah neighbors...they'll believe what they want...
(was that a long comment?! omg...lol)
