Aphasia? A stroke?
Yet another drunk driving death… And they’re not going to stop until we stop treating drug and alcohol use as acceptable.
Where is Quereco QT?
There’s a Querecotillo District in Peru. Closest I’ve found.
Its a writing mistake, is from Queretaro MX, hes a friend of my gf
trimmers
I’m betting it’s a state in Mexico
The state I believe Jesus is from is Queretaro. It’s abbreviated QT, and is in North Central Mexico.

Just a little FYI 🇲🇽
Maybe here to do a little steelhead fishing in the Trinity.
Old college chums
sure buddy? seriously tho, they were all here trimming
Isn’t a wonder the impaired driver was unscathed. Some were without seatbelts? It’s a wonder their wasn’t more fatalities! My condolences to the family that lost a loved one.
I am sure the weren’t enough seat belts for 6 people.
So sad for all involved
I’ll reserve my sadness for the responsible drivers who have to share the road with these imbeciles.
The police should find out what grow scene they were driving from and bust it wide open for being part responsible for this murder. They do it to bars, why not grow scenes?
Because Bars have a responsibility to not over serve patrons. Its the law. Do you think the grower directed them to get wasted and roll over?
There is a tremendous chance that a grower is responsible for illegally employing these people. Lets see the W2, 1099s, I9s, FICA receipts. Paying workers in cash or weed simply attracts trouble.
My thinking is,…now somebody no longer has to pay wages to all those workers. All for the price of a few bottles of cheap booze.
