captaintrolley Posted January 24, 2010 Report Share Posted January 24, 2010 I heard about the accident, of course I didn't get home until 1945. I sure hope the driver pulls through. In other news, spotted mike from edmonton at Westmount Mall checking out some collectors trading cards. Every Saturday The Society of Trading Card Collectors (or whatever they call themselves) have a very nice set up in the Mall. I still like my cards better.

captaintrolley Posted January 24, 2010 Report Share Posted January 24, 2010 Apparently the driver is still unconscious in the hospital. A friend of mine who drives out of Mitchell says there is a K-Bro plant near there and she sees the trucks often. She says " Most of the time the drivers head is barely above the dashboard but he's driving like a maniac. You have to be real careful around those trucks."

microbus Posted January 25, 2010 Report Share Posted January 25, 2010 K-Bro delivers to the Royal Alex, and their shipping/receiving is about 100 feet south of where the accident happened.

captaintrolley Posted January 26, 2010 Report Share Posted January 26, 2010 I'll let James be the hero - he can pee on them or something (old joke). I'm just saying Customer Services would be a good place to avoid in March. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
