Lets give a big “Good Job” to Deputies Stock, and Stacy,as well as firefighters Burkhart, and Young. They did what most people would call a hero’s act of a lifetime. For that effort and dedication they get to go home, and put on a dry uniform. It is their job, and I think they are glad to do it, but better you then me.

I wonder if the lady in question will ever appreciate how truly fortunate she is to be alive; or if this incident will just be the start of a carreer in impaired driving that ends only when others’ lives are taken?

Actually, the kid who totaled his car in our front yard did just get a new car with little more effort than a mouse-click.

Maybe that’s part of the problem.

Guess what! Driving an automobile, is not the same experience as playing your video games.

There IS an END to the road (somewhere)!

I’ve seen several cars, embedded in houses, in the last few years, not to mention other similar demonstrations of driving ineptitude.

Insane driving, shooting people; it’s all big fun, isn’t it?

Except that you don’t just get a new car, a new house or a new life in this “for real” world, with a mouse-click.

What have we done to this new generation, in our infinite wisdom?

It is amazing that there is still a bridge like that in Hays County in the year 2009. That bridge is scary to drive over for all people; especially at night.

Now if this young lady were a local drunk driver she would have been more careful because she would have known that the bridge is one lane with no safety rails. It has a broken up curb, no lighting, and is at the bottom a steep curve on road that has poor signage.

Just a warning to all those students and other newbies out there: San Marcos is not San Antonio, Houston, or Dallas. When it comes to roads it is still the Wild West out here.

So if you are cruzing down Craddock, listening to music with your friends on a street that seems like a bulevard in Dallas. All is not as it appears. Because after about a mile the street just dead ends and you will be flying through the a barbed wire fence landing upside down in a cow pasture with a black angus cow looking at you.

Perhaps, but they do and the SMPD and UPD really ought to get out in front of the issue.

Adults shouldn’t have to be told not to drink and drive. That’s why they’re called “adults.”

Why does the city or university have to do anything? This person is old enough to know right from wrong. She choose wrong and luckily no one was injured. Now she has to pay for her actions.

This is an unfortunate way to start one’s first semester at college. She is very lucky that it wasn’t much worse.

It would be great to see the city and the university get together and come up with a plan to try to tackle this issue.
