First there was this (http://www.komotv.com/stories/35888.htm). Seems innocent enough.

But it quickly escalated this morning to a full on truck assault (http://www.nbc4.tv/traffic/4309980/detail.html)! The brave driver should be awarded the Purple Heart.

My suspicion is that it's a Pentagon conspiracy to destabilize the local economy so that everyone has to rely on the military for their livelihood.

I saw the video on the news last night. It was a miracle that no one was hurt (including the driver).

What disturbs me more than anything...

Can't anyone spell anymore?

"Several surveillance cameras on a building captured the accident as the truck came barreling down the street, obviously out of control after loosing its brakes."

No, it's not "loosing" its brakes. It is "losing" its brakes. Just one common spelling error that really bugs me. I don't expect everyone in the world to spell perfectly but I do expect it from an online news source like NBC.



edited to correct stupid spelling error. Grrr.

No, it's not "loosing" its brakes. It is "losing" its breaks. Ahem. Brakes. So, how's that stone castin' going for ya? ;)

Oh crap. It was inevitable, wasn't it? :)

Then again, my job isn't to write news stories for NBC. ;)

Actually, the truck thing was a few days ago. Monday maybe? The bank item's new, though. And right about a 15 minute walk from where I live!
