MULLY Posted December 21, 2009 Report Share Posted December 21, 2009 Well, if alcohol wasn't a factor I'm going to guess a heart attack was the reason for going over the center line. MULLY or he was fucking with his cell phone or radio Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spent a lot of time down there at Rapid Run Park and the Dunham sports complex (golf/softball/etc) that opened later. I was gonna say something about this being the final in the "bad shit happens in sets of 3", but this is now #4, i.e. Vikki, Go's Mom, Slim, Clem.
