Something Scary to Think About

The clear warning for those of us who come here is to be careful what you write. I can think of one bay area member who journals about his adventures passing people on wet foggy Marin County roads in near darkness. If I got in a serious accident I wouldn't want those words to come back and ruin my life. I wonder if there's a way the administrators could take comments like those down if requested.

Like my momma always told me, don't put nothin' in writing that could come back to hurt you. Or somethin' like that.
