Good luck with that, he knows everything about everything
Actually no I don’t live under a rock. But I have been alive long enough to know that accidents, serious or otherwise are no stranger to this area.

He had a seizure behind the wheel
It’s the new species of magnetic trees in Southern Maryland. It just drags cars right in to them. It couldn’t be that people can’t simply stay off their cell phone while driving a car.
