Frog pond Monday night?
Heard someone rolled a truck Monday night.
Anyone know what happened?

Nope. But somebody got hit by a speeding pizza delivery truck by the Nitty Gritty Tuesday night. The young man was chasing someone across the street. First person got across okay, the second got hit by the pizza delivery truck, which, based on skid mark measurements, was going at 50MPH in a 25 zone. Or at least that's what we got told by my supervisor. (At first he jokingly told us it was a gang shooting with 5 dead...
)

Not sure about Monday but on Sunday we were in Bruno's and the local sheriff's deputy came in to use the phone. Said he was there for the first "Burningman accident" of the year - whatever the hell that means. Evidently there was an accident involving a truck (van?) and a woman on a motorcycle very near Gerlach. Bruno mentioned that the woman was in pretty bad shape.

I guess he forgot that he had a cellphone.Isotopia wrote:Not sure about Monday but on Sunday we were in Bruno's and the local sheriff's deputy came in to use the phone.
I am suprised he knew where the payphone was.
We have an obligation to make space for everyone, we have no obligation to make that space pleasant.

And there are times when a land line, is better to use then a cell.
I doubt Bruno would let him use the pay phone.
This is Gerlack after all.

Deputies sometimes use landlines when repeaters are down, when sensitive information is not wanted to be sent over the clear radio ( scanners are used by reporters and bad guys.), or when great distances are involved, or info is sent from laptops, or ???.
I used to ride a softail. A guy in my old club lost a leg, accidents are common.
