marihayes-soapbox is open!

When you are out on the water this holiday weekend, please think before you drink and drive a boat. Alot of people who wouldn’t think of drinking and driving feel it’s perfectly okay to do it out on the water. Last week some idiot with a very fast boat got thrown with his passengers from the boat while making a turn that the boat shouldn’t be asked to do. He didn’t have a lanyard kill switch attached to his person. The boat kept circling the boaters with the engine running, prop in the water. They were lucky they didn’t get killed or kill someone else. Rescuers from two towns had to throw ropes to entangle the prop and stop the engine. This particular lake is known as a party lake. Too bad this guys party could have concluded with going to the morgue to identify a friend or family member. It’s NOT COOL. YOU LOOK LIKE A JACKASS,and NOONE thinks you are FUNNY!
