RE: CRASHED!!
It was one of those times when you had to make a choice. You made the choice that to you (at that moment) was the best choice. I might not agree with it but if it were me on the grass I'm sure I would have much lesstrouble with your decision. Unless I was hurtand didn't know it. Guys, at least we can agree that he stuck with his decision (right or wrong)and followed thru as best he could under the circumstances.

RE: CRASHED!!
This has been a very interesting story.
From many perspectives for me.
BTW I hate cats.. unless they are a good mouser and vermin killer, then they are ok in my book.

I'm reading this thread, drinking a little wine, and laughing my butt off. Glad the guy is ok and everything - I think it is great how a serious topic can lead to to such a wide range of replies. The cat pictures are are spot-on!

My two cents here, if he was drunk , you should have let the cops take him away. It might save someone else and maybe him in the future.

RE: CRASHED!!
He was not DRUNK!!!!!!! Thought he may have a drink. Do you ever have a drink or glass of wine with dinner? My doctor tells me I should have at least a glass or two of wine everyday, to keep the LDL's down and raise the HDL's, and to help with my diabetes as well. Hard for me to do even that.
Anyway, my crazy neighbor lady called me again last night (from Japan) and talked for about 30 minutes. This time she asked that I not say anything to anyone about our conversation. Look, I am closer to being Shrek than a Don Juan, what gives? What do I do, told the wife, who happened to be at the hospital doing a sleep study. Does this crazy $hit happen to any of the rest of you guys?? I stay at home, don't go out looking for any trouble and I don't mingle with the neighbors, but this stuff lands on my doorsteps.
I much rather deal with one drunk man (which he wasn't) than two pu$$ies, one human and one animal. At least he did not kill the cat, which I would have, and he did replace the mailbox and post, good job I might add, better than what was there. Maybe I just need a bigger dog to keep this stuff at bay.
One good thing at least is happening here. I recognized how many guys in my subdivision ride. I've written a notice in the neighborhood newsletter that if anyone who rides would like to get together to go out riding or just to meet on occasions, let me know and we'd start from there. The guy who does the newsletter told me we could meet at his place of business, which is an entertainment center. Might be the start of a neighborhood chapter in the making. Umh! Let's see, should the first chapter by-law be: Only non-drinkers & non-smokers need apply and if anyone sees someone go down they are not allowed to stop or render assistance. (Ease Up! Just a little sarcastic rhetoric!)
My life just hasn't been the same since I parked my Dyna in the garage.

I think I would have taken my chances with the cat, better chance of staying up than side swiping a curb. I always go back to traffic safety when they told us you are better to tangle with an animal in the road than the off road obstacles. I know that advice was meant for driving a car, but it is still sound.

In the past I've run over jackrabbits at night on several occasions and pretty much it was just like hitting a bump in the road. This was at speed though. All the same, even at low speed I think you have a much better chance of staying upright than if you try to take evasive action.
