@kensuarez2 Who is running the meeting? Were you invited to the meeting? Were they conspiring to overthrow you as the head of household? So many questions.
@deadkings5 The crash occurred between a vehicle and a semi; resulted in a diesel fuel spill; one or more people were transported via ambulance however, no life-threatening injuries.
Thank you @Wawa on US Hwy 98 North in Lakeland for not only feeding our injured heroes, Deputy Smith & Lt. Anderson, and their families, but also their brothers & sisters in green working the Northwest District (north Lakeland area). We love you! #gottahavaWawa #thankyou
