OK it is spring of 1974. 1:30 am.. I am home after being out getting high and going upstairs to bed. Next door is a juicer party in small town central MN going strong. I was not at the party. I was more into herb and he was more a juicer at this point tho we were old friends.
Suddenly BANG. I am jolted out of sleep. Within 20 feet from my head. A guy goes into our tree on the boulevard at 80 mph. The car swings around backwards from impact in a small circle and hits our front house step.
I run down, guy is dead at the scene still in the car. 16 yo kid. Drunk from the party.
6 years later, 1980, my 5th year class reunion.. dead kids younger brother burst in to the nightclub at 1:00 am and wants to fight me because the guy hit OUR tree. I kid you not.
A friend who was sizable escorted me out..
The dumb brother later became chief of police in that town. Byt then my ass was long gone
