Thank you for all your comments - yep, my wife is fine, spent all day at an art class with her mother.

Yes, what I said could be construed as a racist remark, but as Trapper said, it goes with the territory here, and I did not even think about it when I typed it. It was in no way intended to be a racist remark. I am not a racist by any stretch of the imagination. That way of thinking has gone by the wayside over here since the mid '90's. I grew up, went to school with, and work with black people, and have no problem with them at all. But it depends on their class, or mannerisms. (Still not wanting to be racist...) In America I believe they are called "hicks". It was one of these people that had no consideration for other people, and drove in front of my wife without looking.

I do not want this thread to become a racial debate, so please, if you have any problem with me, or what I said, and I have since edited out, please PM me, and we can talk it out.

Thanks again
Dwayne

Its 106 miles to Chicago. We have a full tank of gas, half a pack of cigarettes, its dark and we're wearing sunglasses.

Hey, psycho, we're not getting back together. Now get out of my Van Halen t-shirt before you jinx the band and they break up.
