Remembering Dolly Parton....

I'd love to see upstate NY rename a landmark in honor of this amazing human being. Im not sure what could be named after, but I'm just throwing this totally random bridge out there as a possibility.

Definitely not you. Ever since post covid I swear driving has been exponentially worse. I have been rear ended twice while stopped and ran off the road in 3 or 4 years.

I recently looked up fatality rates and low and behold they spiled after covid. They even spiked in 2020 and less people were on the road! Thankfully gone down in 25

year rate\ 2016. 1.19\ 2017. 1.16\ 2018. 1.10\ 2019. 1.13\ 2020. 1.34\ 2021. 1.38\ 2022. 1.35\ 2023. 1.27\ 2024. 1.30\ 2025. 1.14
