February 16th 2008 before the St Valentines Day Celebrities had subsided about
Twenty (20) miles South of Washington D.C. Eight (8) people lay dead in the
street along Route 210 a four lane highway in Accokeek Maryland. Why? Because no one listens to momma any more.
Some Twenty (20) years ago the Tennessee Mountain Man transported telephone
equipment around the southern states and up the eastern seaboard for ma
bell. A prominent sign was displayed at
the exit for each of ma bells maintenance shops which read You Are About To
Enter The Most Dangerous Place In The World... An American Highway. Buckle Up!.
Iraq Iran Afghanistan and other hot spots around the world
notwithstanding nothing has changed and the warning is as applicable today as
it was all those years ago. Concerning the Accokeek deaths according to FOX
News Prince Georges County Police Captain Donald Frick said there was a speed
event going on. That has to be the
understatement of the year. There had
been an illegal drag race that resulted not only in the high number of deaths
but several injuries and an unlimited number of lives that have been changed
forever because the immature must play... even if it could reasonably mean they
die. A speed event is the Daytona 500 which was scheduled to run the following
day or Power Boat Racing... events scheduled and licensed under the appropriate
authority in a relatively safe place with safety precautions and viewer
protection adhered to. This was a clear
criminal violation which resulted in injury and death and yet the police do not
know they say whether charges will be filed against anyone or not. Can you say duh? The Computer man grew up in
the backwoods country atop Sand Mountan in Jackson County Alabama. Running in front of the old home place about
fifty (50) feet from the front door was a dirt road which mom always told us to
stay out of. There were less than Ten
(10) vehicles a day that literally crawled down that road but mom insisted stay
out of the road. When one of the children was required to make a trip the three
quarters (.75) of a mile to the country store that serviced the little
community mom always warned walk on the side of the highway... stay off the
road. A toe stumped on the asphalt and
bleeding (not to mention hurting) when arriving back home was a dead give away
and earned an extra punishment which seemed pretty severe until the computerman
had a teenage step daughter killed by a car while she was crossing a city
street. Many years ago Johnny Cash recorded a song about a mommas warning. It was to her young son and entitled Dont
Take Your Guns To Town. The first verse was A young cowboy named Billy Joe grew
restless on the farm A boy filled with wonderlust who really meant no harm He
changed his clothes and shined his boots And combed his dark hair down And his
mother cried as he walked out [Chorus] Dont take your guns to town son Leave
your guns at home Bill Dont take your guns to town. As strange as it may be
that was the first thing that popped in the Tennessee Mountain Mans mind upon
learning of this tragedy that happened on a dark unlighted stretch of suburban
highway fifty-five (55) miles north of Boston.
As the two racing cars sped away and the spectators stepped into the
roadway to watch an eighteen (18) wheel tractor trailer and a car appeared
behind them from nowhere. Not being able
to see the people standing in the middle of the roadway dressed in dark
clothing against the dark of night compounded by the smoke from cars and
burning tires there was little the operators of those vehicles could do to
avoid the by standers. For a little fun a restless crowd of somewhere between
fifty (50) and two hundred (200) souls had assembled on a busy roadway in the
dark night and gambled their life against a little entertainment and in only a
short moment in time they lost. Listen to your momma. She warned you dont play in the street. gktoday
