Drinking and Driving

So last night John and Sath came over for a snack around 11pm. They are working Festive RIDE this year and they were near the house, so it made sense to just come home for lunch. Of course, being the good wife I am, I was baking chocolate chip cookies and gooey toffee butter bars. Yes, at 11pm on a Saturday! What else am I going to do? Anyway, I am always shocked by the number of people they still stop each and every night and pull off the road for drinking and driving. It really is appalling. When will people learn? This year in the region bordering where we live, they dedicated their Festive RIDE to John's cousin, Steve, who was killed by a drunk driver in 1992. I know how much it has meant to our family. The sad thing is, it's the worst way to have a family member honoured. If there is anything I can say about the holiday season, or quite frankly any time of year, it's to please not drink and drive. Don't risk your life or lives of innocent strangers. Nothing would please me more than John coming home and telling me that they didn't get anyone. And not because they didn't get caught, but because everyone knew better. Be safe.
