    I have just learned that one of our members, Mighty Whitey has been in a terrible accident.

    http://kob.com/article/stories/s217933.shtml

    Mike was on his way to work this morning and a Semi Truck rearended him. Mike is currently at the UNM Hospital in critical condition.

    Please take a moment to pray for Mike and his family.

    Mike is truly a GREAT guy.

    Our thoughts and prayers go out to you Mike, for a quick and speedy recovery.


    Update:


    Mikey is now going in for X-Rays. He has a possible broken arm. Mikey seems to be fine except for the broken arm. whew.

    The semi rearended him on the freeway, pushing the trunk of the skittle into the back seat.

    Sorry about the link, seems that the local news station is having issues.

    That is WAY WAY WAY better the critical condition.


    I still hope all is well and he gets the car fixed/replaced soon.

    Yea, it was first reported critical.

    As for the skittle, it is totaled.

    The main thing is that Mikey is ok.

    Sorry it took me so long to get here, Mike helps me out a lot at the shop and have been swamped without him. He sounded good on the phone, a little bummed, but I'm sure he will be back at it soon. I will try and keep you all updated when I get more news.
