I didn’t see you because I slept in.

We know you wouldn’t have acknowledged him, anyway.

Ha! It's so true!

[rass]

To be fair I was the one who didn’t acknowledge him the one time we were in the same restaurant at the same time.

wrong thread

Posting in this thread has become second nature I guess?

But on the flipside we’re still friends with that family and who knows how it goes if I became “recognizable message board guy” that night.

Just “message board guy” in the mid/late 2010’s might have been enough.

Found out yesterday one of the deaths in NJ was our sister town: a dad (50s) tried to clear out a drain and didn't come back inside for over an hour, people looked for him but it was in a flooded area so they couldn't see/do much and his body was found at the end of the street and down a block the next morning.

Our exit from 78 is still closed from Ida. A “failed drain” led to the off ramp collapsing.

Yeah, it came out during the week after that the entire section of their block had been petitioning the town for years to get that fixed. Somehow makes the story even worse.

You run for mayor or town council in a small town, you don't think your failure to respond to that kind of request will directly lead to a death.
