Here we go again!

Here is what the building looked like at noon today. Workers are busy shoring up things. The SUV went through the rockery, iron posts in the middle of it, plus an iron fence. They figured the young man was going at least 75 miles per hour and made no attempt to turn.
I woke up to the sound of circling helicopters this morning. Soon the phone rang and a friend reported that the once Harbor Inn Restaurant and home, but now a work in progress, had been crashed into again. The first time...when this picture was taken..... by a dump truck filled with logs, that came down the hill out of control. That was about 19 years ago and there was one loss of life, a young waitress who worked at the restaurant, plus the driver of the truck. This time by a car driven by a young man in his 20's, going between 70 and 90 miles per hour. The driver died as his car went into the building and stopped short of injuring the patrons in the fitness club at the front of the building. The basement is used as a beauty shop and spa, and the top floor is being remodeled into a home for the owners of the building. My prayers go out to all.
