Looks Like It's Time for Dad to Turn In His Driver's License...


Dad wrecked his car this weekend. We're not sure exactly what happened - Pops isn't saying exactly, but he jumped a curb and tore the transmission line and universal joint off the undercarriage. According to Matt, he did the same thing last week with him in the car..
Old Joe is 83, he's blind as a bat, and he tends to drink a bit - all bad things to have. We may have to have an intervention and get him out of the rivers seat, and into a place with one of us - NOT ME ! Matt is volunteering to help, but Like I say, no good deed goes unpunished.......
Does anyone have a textbook "it's time to stop driving" speech? No doubt it will be an uneasy time when that comes around........

Thank goodness my Mama decided on her own several years ago. Of course with over a half dozen kids and 40 or so grand kids and great grands most living in the area she had plenty of support in that. Maybe we should start a taxi company in Greeleyville as Kingstree has a couple and one of them is Graham Taxi. No relationship not unless there was some stuff going on way back in the day.

Kingstree's isn't related to Dr. Toney Graham perchance?

Mike, was either accident reported? The Judge might provide that soultion without a family intervention.

WR first question not sure.

WR you are right the Judge could provide solution for Mike.

moye, it is more of a black or white tangent. Dr. Toney's practice is in Lake City, though investment in Kingstree isn't impossible.
