You are a good, kind man, WOTR; I am glad you are there.
Thanks Dubb. I read that again, and I realize that it sounded like he was plastered. He was steady on his feet, and there was only a slight smell of alcohol. He may not have even been over the legal limit. He was probably mid 20's to 30 with a typical thin Philippio build.
I also realize that he would probably have been better served having a "Dubb" (or any normal person) show up instead. With me, when he said he screwed up his relationship, I was honest and said that I didn't know what happened, so I could not comment. When he said he really screwed up with the crash, I did admit to him that running a car into a train may not have been the best action. I seem to lack a filter and proper empathy.
On the other hand, he is still alive. No other cars stopped, and the 3 or 4 people who got off the train just started walking home.So, I suppose you get what you get- and in his case it was a WOTR who does not always say the "right" things. I was a little surprised that not a single other person either got off the train to hlep or stopped their car to help in the 7 or 8 minutes until the emergency vehicles showed up...
