My wife says that to me. I thought she was just contradicting me. Now I know it’s a conspiracy. However, coming from a graphic arts perspective, I say it’s your screen. I tell my clients, the color on your screen is different than the color on my screen which is also different than my bosses screen ten feet from mine. That’s not even considering for the angle at which the screen is observed. Of course, I’m referring to computers, not gadgets. Don’t even get me started on printer ink cartridge differences. Then there’s my stepbrother who’d tell you that the car is a faded green, the bushes beyond it are red, the tree it crashed into is a giant California Greenwood, and the coolant leaking from the radiator is probably red.

Just as red as my old faded canoe. One side more so than the other. My wife taunts me, “You mean your PINK canoe?” “NO!! It’s RED!!”

Until more information gets released, I hope everyone is well.

I think it’s just the cloudiness of deteriorating clear coat.

It might have been red at one time, but that’s not what I call red…
It’s all in the shade, I guess.

It’s redder than the redwood.

It sure ain’t, “arrest me red”.

Or, on second thought, maybe it is…

Actually that is misinformation. The redwoods do not move they are highly magnetic and pull vehicles into them.

Hopefully the person is okay.

The driver’s face must have been red after the accident. Let’s hope he is soon back in the pink.

Nothing about the injured. Being so far from medical help. I haven’t been on 36 for several years, but I did respect the MPH signs. When someone came up behind me I just found a place to pull off the road and let them by. Can’t understand why some people are in such a hurry. Maybe they get to their destiny 20 minutes ahead of me. I can use that time to listen to my favorite tunes which I like to sing along. I value my vehicles so I drive with that respect.

There have been a number of accidents in that location. I am sure he did not drive off the highway to test his airbags. I hope he will recover from his injuries and be ok. Thank you, Bridgeville Fire Department, Cal Fire and the CHP.

That’s not a tree. That’s THE tree close to the road people run into heading east. Not to be confused with the tree people usually hit heading west.

The funny thing is, those trees usually don’t even lose bark after folks total cars from hitting them.

That Mustang is probably slower than a new Honda Civic.
