I am sure we all have heard of the saying about "Crying over spilled milk." A truck that was involved in an accident on a highway in Stearns County in Minnesota on Christmas Day. A tanker that was driven by driver Joshua Kelzer that had around 6,400 gallons of milk mentioned that the cause of the accident was caused when the truck that he was driving on Maplewood Drive just north of the intersection County Road 40 when the tires were too close to the shoulder of the road which caused the truck to lean over on its side due to the softer surface. Some of the milk was spilled on the road but Joshua was not injured in the accident. I just wonder if Joshua will be disciplined by his employer for his error of driving a truck and causing some milk to spill on a road. Link is upi.com/1121735326729 via @upi

That is a good idea to feed the cats with the milk.

@porwest That is true since I have seen cats drink milk a lot outside of my home.

If he was ticketed for reckless operation, he may very well have been fired.

@Deepizzaguy And a reflection on the business. So they have to protect the "image."

@kareng That is what some of the former football players say on television that the image of the National Football League is their top priority.

That is true since an employer has to protect his or her business.

But I think it is good to be reprimanded than losing a life, I am glad he is okay, and not all the milk was spilled. God bless.

Learn from errors on the job is better than dying on the job.

That is true since icy roads are very dangerous just like flooded roads.

The mess might be hard to clean up being the same colour as the snow, and when such accidents occur, the accident should always be investigated, and the reasons ascertained for the accident, and then the issues caused by the driver, should be discussed with him, and appropriate disciplines administered.

If my boss would try to scold me over it, that's exactly the phrase I would come back with. "Hey buddy, let's not cry over a little spilled milk." I am sure I would be fired. lol
