We live out in Last Mountain Valley and on March 15/th. 2010, we had a 'yahu' coming motoring in on his ATV. I was around the side of the house snow-shoveling. He didn't know I was outside and I didn't realize he was in our yard(should have considering no gate or fence)until I heard the most tremendous scream. I thought whoever it was, was in great distress. I rushed around the house to see a guy on big honking ATV wheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeling around our parked vehicle like a bucking bronco. He was drunker than a skunk and steering with 1 hand on, and the other clasped around some Molson brew. On his rack he had 12pk still with a few to go, and all the while I was talking to him, he was hiccuping and almost falling off the machine. He offered me 1, but I declined and told him, "BE CAREFUL" because he was slurring his words and every second or 2 catching himself from falling off.
I said, "Do you want me to call someone?!" He hiccuped and said, "no thanks!"
So, I said you go on home and take care going back the 2-3 miles to Govan.
Unbelievable... no, it's believable. I wished I'd had my camera!
No wonder folk become statistics!
This is shocking.
