Three more senseless murders by a habitual drunken driver. Ms. Getz's selfish actions have wiped out a family. When will our courts learn to send drunk drivers to prison? Maybe after they murder a few thousand more innocent mothers and children? Drunk drivers are selfish, self serving people, do not coddle them; PUNISH them very severely!!!!!

What a tragic story! Ann Marie Getz has obviously had problems with drunken driving before...why is she still allowed to drive? She should be charged with murder, not vehicular manslaughter. My deepest sympathies to the family. Peace.

Daily Horoscope for January 6

Aries

The behaviour of somebody around you (most probably your partner or family member) may be rather irrational today. Alternatively, a surprise involving one of these people is possible. Try to keep your domestic plans reasonably flexible to cover all possible outcomes. The focus is on improving your relationship with your partner or with friends today. Any outings should go very smoothly.
