My brother, the bicycle aficionado, was indirectly in the news. While out riding on Sunday, he heard a car crashing into the Lexington Reservoir, near Highway 17. He flagged down a passing car to call it in. The Merc ran a small blurb on the crash. Police are not sure if it was a deliberate act or not. My brother had felt guilty that he didn’t jump in to help, but after he waited an hour for police and fire people to try to get to the car, the guilt was lessened. They had to call in divers, and of course by then the driver was gone. Senseless deaths upset me greatly. Soapbox time: Do NOT drink and drive. We’ve heard it a million times, but people keep doing it. Don’t let anyone else do it. And, if you are thinking there is no hope in sight, you can’t go on, and no one cares, PLEASE call a suicide hotline. There’s also a national number: 1-800-784-2433.
