one morning, the guy's backing out of his driveway and his brakes fail. instead of thinking "maybe I should take my foot of the accelerator that's in reverse, i seem to be unable to stop and turn onto the street" the guy casually never de-accelerates and ends up crashed into a tree on the house next to me some 200 yards later.



from firsthand experience, its only downhill from there. an old man that runs down trees or "tiny steps" is tapped out...that means pull the plug. a good neighbor makes a friendly visit to brainstorm end of life accomodations. otherwise, you'll always be looking over shoulder, doubly so if kids are playing nearby. put it this way, best way to survive a plane crash is be on the ground when it happens.

take eric jover. hasn't slept a wink in days, and not just from the guilt in knowing it was within his power to have done something about Steve Driver sooner, but because its all-hands over Ultima now, they're shipping orders round the clock.
