More about Carla

Thanks for posting this. Very interesting show. I wish I could be surprised by the caller (37 minutes into the show) that was pleased to hear of motorcycle accidents resulting in a fatality. Unfortunately I’ve seen too much of this attitude.

Dang! Some of those callers were a little harsh, especially the individual hoping to hear of a rider’s death following an accident. Those are the people I worry over deliberately trying to kill me with their cars.
