She's lucky she didn't kill or maim someone - and that she got away with just a broken windshield!
so sad..
There have been so many "unattended deaths" lately. I know some were old, but it is so sad to think of people dying alone.
And WOW! at the amount of thefts/robberies etc lately. It is really getting out of control. I think i should get a gun.
