It’s His Fault The Guy Was Drunk

AUSTIN, Texas (KXAN) – Chris Newby usually parks his cars in his garage and driveway. Last month, a stranger parked his car just a few feet away in Newby’s guest room.

“It sounds like a plane hit the house, I mean, I felt like I hit the ceiling,” Newby said. “The whole house just shook.”

It was Jan. 19 at 2:30 a.m. Newby was upstairs sleeping when the car barreled into a spare bedroom right below.

The Honda made a mess of the spare room. “Looked like a tornado hit it. I mean, the entire room was just crunched,” Newby said.

He said he tried to rescue the driver but couldn’t get to him through the rubble. Emergency crews were able to reach him, and police arrested the driver on suspicion of driving while intoxicated, according to an Austin Police Department report.

Newby wasn’t hurt, but there was a lot of damage to his house. To add insult to injury, about 10 days later, he received a letter from the city for code violations because of the status of his house. The letter was dated the day of the crash.

“There’s two different violations,” Newby said. “One for having a hole in my house and one for having no window.”

The letter explained Newby had 30 days to get his house in order or face consequences, including as much as a $2,000 fine per violation, per day.

“It felt tone deaf to me,” Newby said. “I’m in violation for being a victim.”

Newby made contact with a code inspector who he said told him he could have extra time to make repairs. Even so, the Austin native is disappointed.

Newby said the driver’s insurance is paying for the repairs, which should be completed around the end of February.

...I would really hate to believe that we are part of the last of a dying breed.

In another time we were expected to be able to solve a problem by ourselves as
the need arose without having to open up your Twitter account to get a variety of
solutions from which to choose. None of those options may be the correct one for you
but it doesn't matter. You gave it your best shot, right?
Someone else can take the blame.

What levels of bureaucracy did this have to go through before the homeowner got
pinged for keeping his house in such a state of disrepair?
Did some lowly clerk read the police report and kick it upstairs to all the big
decision making guys?

Did they then consult with Twitter for the Golden Fix?
Did someone's God come to the conclusion that mankind, with its' high intelligence,
somehow use all those brains to destroy their home base and so has now decided to
throw the stupid stick at them once again?

Questions, questions, questions. And no answers. I'd better get a Twitter account.

It dawned on me that I just might be one of those "woke" people you're all ranting about.

Date: 3/1/2023 5:53:00 PM  ( From Author ) From Authorid: 5940    This is why I built a moat around my property and so far I’ve had no trouble with drunk drivers.

...you may want to do some magnet fishing in your moat and solve the "Mystery of the Lost Paperboy"

...I forgot who I was talking to for a second there.
Fill your moat with beer and drink your way to discovery.

  
Date: 3/1/2023 6:33:00 PM  ( From Author ) From Authorid: 5940    How did you know magnet fishing was a hobby of mine?  
Date: 3/1/2023 6:36:00 PM  ( From Author ) From Authorid: 5940    Now you’re just being silly. The sharks I used in the moat are no good to me drunk!  
Date: 3/1/2023 6:43:00 PM  From Authorid: 21435    Wow! Austin is really going to the dogs!

"L.D."---What is that supposed to mean?

kronk---Don't take "it" personal, dog. I was just messin' withcha'

"L.D."---Yeah, I know. I actually can relate, sorta'

kronk---How can you relate to having your home partially destroyed by a drunk guy driving a Honda?

"L.D."---Have you forgotten New Years Eve, 1961? You "commandeered" you Aunt Juanita's Buick Electra and ran over my new dog house.

kronk---Aunt Juanita assumed all responsibility for that accident. She said that she shouldn't have left her keys in the ignition and that half gallon of muscatel
on the seat.

"L.D."---Ugh!
  
Date: 3/1/2023 6:49:00 PM  ( From Author ) From Authorid: 5940    LOL! Kronk has a “ Keith Moon” moment!  
Date: 3/1/2023 6:59:00 PM  From Authorid: 21435    Who?

kronk---That's "The" Who, to you, dog.

"L.D."---You talkin' about Keith, "the freak" Zabriskie?

kronk---You're putting on an "Eminence Front," dog.

"L.D."---You can't prove anything.

kronk---Ugh!
  
Date: 3/3/2023 5:24:00 PM  From Authorid: 21435    I wanna' go "magnet fishing!"

kronk---We don't own a magnet.

"L.D."---Well, then let's go visit "Nancy Patricia," in SF.

kronk---She can't have any visitors. She's re-adjusting to civilian life.

"L.D."---Hekler said that he is "awake." We can bring carrots, a couple of coals, a stove pipe hat and some wine. Then, we can make snow people.

kronk---Cool! Let's bring some "Mad Dog!"

"L.D."---I'm there, man!
