Mad Man Traffic

I’m writing this as I wrap up Tuesday evening traffic. We just had an accident in Atlanta that claimed the second life of the day. We had one in Marietta this morning on I-75. We had one yesterday on 75 in Cobb County too. We started early Monday morning after midnight, I believe, with at least three, when some speeding moron on a county back road up in Braselton hit another car head-on and killed both people in the vehicle. That’s six people. And it’s not even Wednesday! What gets up underneath me is not one of these people set out on their day with any intention of not coming home, even the poop-for-brains that tried to outrun Motorola.
I know we can look at some of these and say this and that about what might’ve been or could’ve been. The other thing that gets me is how random they are. One was a guy in a truck at a stop light that had a tree fall on him! What’s up with that?
Six people. Dead. And we’re not even 3 days into the week. It’s tragic. It’s senseless. Roads are for getting somewhere. “Somewhere” does not include the road to nowhere.
