A raft capsized in the river yesterday, close to my house. When the helicopters showed up I decided to go have a look to see what was going on. I thought maybe a bad car wreck cause any one with any sense would not be in a raft on the river right now.
So the wife and me jump in the pickup just to blow down the highway once. That was my plan anyway. Well the wife had put a bunch of loose garbage in the truck and I was pretty sure it was going to blow out so I pulled off of the highway into the fishing access to remedy the situation and while I'm doing that the wife starts crying as she had full view of the the family of 4 who's life had just been shattered. They were balling their eyes out as they had just lost their father and husband. The kids had to be around 10 years old. The rescue jet boats are still searching the river this morning.
I sure didn't want my wife to have to see that. It's effected us both adversely. Especially hearing those boats all day.
