... another TMI alert?

Some of you in other places will think this insane,,,
but with all our horrific traffic problems in SoCal, we also 
have more and more car chases to complicate matters. 
It happens so often, that I get an alert on Facebook:



Then it goes to the live feed ...

 
So when I should have been working on this blog, 
I was again distracted, fascinated, appalled and hooked.
 


It was an accused felony domestic violence male driving,
To complicate it, the female,  possible victim was in the car. 
High speeds on all freeways and streets, often driving into oncoming traffic. Driving on sidewalks, through a chain link fence that he dragged for a block, He took us on a tour of South Gate, Long Beach, Torrance, Pasadena, Norwalk, Huntington Beach ans more, No accidents, but many close calls. So popular is watching car chases, that they post it, and viewers can comment and send emoji's? The overhead helicopter relays the speed,  the streets or freeways traveled, as well as the Sherriff, City, or CHP 
in pursuit. I started semi watching at 5:15. I was still watching at 7pm when it was time for Jeopardy, it was a hard choice, but I put Jeopardy on my tv,  the chase on my laptop but turned the sound down so I could hear and concentrate on the clues and answers.  

  
New 14 day champ, James Holzhauer, still amazes and has 
won over 1,00,060 for his knowledge and quick responses.

Turned the tv off at 8pm, it was back to the on going car chase, 
it ended about 8:20 when the driver pulled into a 99c store
 parking lot, parked and ran into the store, as the customers 
ran outside, hearing orders to clear the store. 
The female hadn't got out of the car, but they concentrated 
on him. He was apprehended. then they went to the car 
to find her breathing but unresponsive. I looked but google didn't have it yet? 

So now you know how I wasted three hours.
