Life Changes: Hunt Down the SOB! (published 6-9-2019)

Introduction

I didn’t mention these “life, such as it was,” backlogged items before. On the Sunday afternoon of 5/19/2019, the “long-suffering” Mrs. Appalachian Irishman, her two sisters, our niece, and I ate dinner (or lunch, as Yankees call it) at “O’Chuck’s.” It was a late celebration of our thirty-third wedding anniversary, which was three days prior, which was a workday for us.

Just after we left the house for our anniversary dinner, a fine neighbor, a man, age 70, and in good shape, had a major heart attack without prior symptoms! He lived, thankfully, and returned home from the hospital on 6/2/2019, without surgery or permanent heart damage! He’s still around! Thanks, Lord, for sparing our good neighbor!

On Monday, 5/27/2019, Memorial Day, I called a fine Hawkins County neighbor, also age 70. He’s facing an upcoming surgery on 6/17/2019, which should correct his problem. May it be so, dear Lord!

Later on Memorial Day, I called my youngest brother. He was sickly. The next Saturday, 6/1/2019, I called him again. He was still recovering from what had become double pneumonia, with a 101.9-degree fever! My brother has been enduring missed work and doctor appointments, but he is getting better. Please help him recover fully, Lord!

HUNT DOWN THE SOB!

The next day, at 9:48 AM, I published the 6/2/2019 article. Later that same day, I learned that, while my youngest brother was still recovering at home from double pneumonia, his wife and their two daughters were hit, while almost back home from running errands!

As my sister-in-law and nieces were nearing home, a SOB (not a swell ol' boy), a tall, thin, white, short-haired male (not a man), driving a white Ford POS (piece of stuff), was in their northbound lane at an “S” curve. The SOB hit them head-on! Airbags deployed. Thankfully, the three family members sustained only minor injuries from the airbag deployment.

The SOB got out of the Ford POS and took off running on foot to escape justice. He has not been found yet! Hopefully, the highway patrol is still searching for him. The car that he was driving belonged to someone else.

The Morristown Citizens Tribune newspaper and the WCYB Bristol, Virginia, television station published articles on their websites. See “THP searching for hit-and-run driver in Saint Clair.” Citizen Tribune, Staff, 6/3/2019, and “Hawkins County Emergency Crews ask for help identifying driver involved in crash.” News5 WCYB (Bristol, VA), by Kristen Quon, 6/2/2019.

As of this date, The Rogersville Review has not yet published an article about the wreck. Way to go, hometown newspaper!

This article is my online means of getting out the word! Look for the SOB as described above! If you see him, please call the highway patrol or 911!

The SOB should be in jail! I have no forgiveness. The Good Lord has no forgiveness. The SOB could be forgiven by all, if he would man up, turn himself in, ask for forgiveness, pay his fines, and serve his time in jail! He may have gotten away with his hit-and-run, literally running off on foot, if law enforcement can't find him. He will not be able to hide from God at the final judgment!

Conclusion

Okay, I’m done. Good evening, y'all. Life, such as it is, rolls onward.

I had to get this off my chest by writing about it. Yes, I am righteously indignant. Righteous indignation is not a sin.

Dear God, I'm sorry for using “SOB” and “POS” in this article! Please forgive me. Thank you for forgiving me.
