A landscape business owner was side swiped today by a car on rt9.
John Flood of John Flood landscaping is listed in critical condition right now at Albany med, with 20% chance of survival and only 10% chance of being back to normal.
Let’s go for the best, but remember, be safe out there and wear gear if nothing else.

I’m 99% sure it was him, 1% in case it’s one of the employees, but doesn’t look like that from what I’ve heard.

Best wishes to him & his family

I hate hearing this stuff. GL to the downed rider.
but I do think the thread title is a tad insensitive… which means its probably pretty bad since I’m not sensitive at all.

I did think that “Another one bites the dust” seemed like the wrong words to use as well.

Those words can be taken to either extreme judging by the connotation. Since since is the internet it obviously doesn’t carry the connotation therefore you let context decide the meaning.
Either way, unfortunately the plug was pulled today.
