Okay, so are there more traffic accidents recntly, or are we getting more reporting of traffic accidents on this site recently.
I mean, it’s nice to keep in touch with what’s happening in Maple Ridge, but aren’t we forgetting about accidents around Granada, Spain?

I was thinking the same thing…I suspect it has more to do with the news being slow these days. Or could it be that the reporters are all on holidays?
