Lol, you probably didn’t mean this as a suggestion, but I took it as one.  Ordered spare “clickers” for my vehicles this AM.  That incessant chiming is annoying.

I used to be religious about seatbelt safety, but I had surgery about six years ago and didn’t heal up quite right from that.  Left me with some scar tissue on my right side and clipping in the seatbelt can actually cause me pain on that side.  So I got out of the habit of buckling up and now rarely do it.  I don’t recommend it, but i do it anyway and am reasonably comfortable with not buckling up.  The fine for not wearing your seatbelt is $25 in our state.  Honestly, that’s not much of a deterrent.  Probably needs to be 10 to 100 times thot if they want to deter anybody.  

Tbh I kind of hesitated for that reason but it is your life and your choice how you live it. Glad I could “help” 😅

Driver wearing a seatbelt also died, so this really seems like an odd time and place to even have this debate. 

Driver wearing a seatbelt also weaved her Silverado into another Silverado and hit it head on. That seemingly reduced her survival probability. So yeah, it's possible to still die if you're wearing a seatbelt, but not having 100% effectiveness is still higher than the effectiveness of not wearing a seatbelt and having some distracted or impaired driver hit your 5000lb truck with her 5000lb truck.

Instead of talking about seat belt I think it's best to mention that the tribute will be widely available.

Family Friend Gives Update on Jay Briscoe’s Daughters

Quote

“Currently the girls are stable, but they both have a very long road of recovery ahead of them. Gracie, 12, when she originally got to Nanticoke [hospital], she couldn’t feel anything from the waist down. She was diagnosed with an L2 dislocation and an L3 and L4 fracture in her back with compression on her spinal cord. After Nanticoke got her stabilized, they transferred her to another hospital and she got feeling back in her thighs, but nothing lower than her knee. She was taken straight for a MRI and surgery on Wednesday morning around 3 AM. The doctor was able to relieve the compression on the spinal cord and surgery went as well as expected. When you have trauma to your spinal cord, it’s a waiting game. With the swelling and trauma, you have to wait. She still has feeling in her thighs, but no movement as of yet. Gracie had tingling in her feet on and off today. Her progress will be a day-to-day basis for months to come. She is bruised up pretty badly, but at this time, no other injuries have been diagnosed.

“Jayleigh was diagnosed with an open tibia and fibula fracture at Nanticoke, where she underwent surgery. They placed an external fixator on and sent her back to the hospital. She has been diagnosed with a C7 fracture in her neck and has been placed in a neck brace, which she will be in for six weeks. She also has an L3 and L4 fracture in her back, which can be managed with a back brace for about 12 weeks. She has a right clavicle fracture from the seatbelt as well as a broken rib on the right side. She has a small left pneumothorax, which is the air between the lung and chest wall, not inside the lung. They are just monitoring that as it’s not large enough for intervention at this point, which is a blessing. Today, she was diagnosed with a perforated bowel with free fluid in her abdomen, she had some internal bleeding in her stomach area. They knew about it and they were watching it and today they were able to pinpoint it and find out where it was. That surgery went awesome, that got in there and got the bleeding under control and got her on the mend. She went to the OR for that today. They did a bowel resection, which means they took a little of it out, nothing that is long-term effects. While she was down there, the orthopedics decided to do another washout of her leg and some manipulation to the bones for better alignment. She still has the external fixator in place and they placed an NG tube down her nose to decompress her stomach. They will take it out tomorrow and this will allow her to eat.”

Jay Briscoe's passing has bummed me out more than usual for the man's age, the loss of a son, brother, husband, father to three young kids and the injuries to two of those kids. Jay's 38 and I'm that in two months time. Fucking sucks.

Any word on the reason behind why the other driver crossed the center line? My immediate thought was texting and driving, but who knows, she could have fallen asleep behind the wheel or had a medical issue happen as well.

I was wondering about the time of day. I know here, only a few hours away, we have accidents all the time around 1630-1700 based on the sun's position and not being able to see traffic because of the glare. 

I could envision a scenario where sun glare/blindness causes an accident at that time of day, especially on a rural two-lane highway. But that's a hypothetical.

There hasn’t been any word yet and I agree that it could have been something other than texting or alcohol and people should withhold judgement without knowing the facts. Everything about the situation is so heartbreaking though.

Wrestling fandom really needs to straighten out its priorities that people are losing it because there wasn't this perceived enough of a tribute on Dynamite considering what the Pugh family is still going through and they've not only lost their father but his daughters may have difficulty walking again. Frankly, a wrestling tribute show is trivial at this point.

They had a real banger of a match too. Wondering if they lobbied for some extra time because that was way longer than anything else on the show.

Fantastic news which I've been hoping for all week. Always nice/bittersweet to see people in and around wrestling come together in shit times like these, but beyond just that, it sounds like the family has a really great community behind them locally. Hopefully that's at least a small comfort to them in some way.

Don't want to depress anyone any more about this but (and don't worry, this isn't news, just a private and now public thought): 

Spoiler

We'll probably never get a Cool Whip container promo again. 

I wasn't with you guys in the early 2000s, but I was here for those. They brightened my day every time. 

My best to his family and everyone else.
