Ty's Take
A wrong-way driver on I-10 killed somebody this week, and now faces a homicide charge—the kind of story that reminds you how fast things turn catastrophic out here, especially when alcohol's involved.

It's all of it at once—the danger, the care, the preparation—which is just how Deming operates.
