automobile death

[purpleraincat]

well, yet another car accident has killed someone i know. this bagger at work, a 16-year old named Erik Michell, was on his way to WORK yesterday at 7 am, and his car lost control in the rain and slammed into a cement pillar. i had talked to him several times, basically every time he bagged for me. he was completely "emo" i guess, and i loved his neon orange belt he always wore. he was supposed to be working when i was working yesterday. today we all signed a card to give to his family. it's so sad...although i never got to know him, just not seeing him around will be weird. once again, when will this place get the hint? driving a car shouldn't be the only option.
