COAST – this was posted about 2 hours ago and you’re already whining about no updates? Dude, you and BASIC need some hobbies, healthy ones. Complaining about everything that happens anywhere anytime always, especially when it has zero impact on your lives, is just not a happy way to go through life. I hope you all find something to be joyful about some day. Honestly, I do.
I hope everyone in the scary accident is on the mend.

CHP never gives any follow up information on accidents “currently under investigation”…
You really take the cake, sacjon..
Just being honest. I feel bad for people who complain constantly about everything. It’s sad.
Sacjon’s glass is half full and I like it!
