Bet there is a story here.

He was obviously speeding and operating the boat in a reckless manner. (how else could the boat end up in the road a quarter mile or more from any body of water?)

It wasn't tied down to the trailer and fell off, probably when the driver took off at a stop sign or light.
Edit. Look at the bow. It appears to have a short piece of rope dangling which could imply the winch rope snapped. Should still have had stern straps securing it to the trailer but maybe they weren't installed or failed as well.

My great uncle worked at a Standard Oil service station, went to war, came back and worked at that same station (eventually as manager) until he retired. He put in an incredible amount of hours there and I remember visiting him more at the station than his home. It was closed soon after he retired. I sometimes like to stop by it to remind myself that life is fleeting and today's priorities are sometimes tomorrow's regrets.

It seems that many of our children want a better life than we had or provided for them. Many adult children know what their parents went through and do not want to have that life.

Before welfare, if you didn't work, you wouldn't be able to provide for yourself and your children. Knowing how to work is part of training and modeling by parents. Knowing how to seek handouts is also part of training and modeling by parents.

When my daughter was born, a woman I knew who was a grandmother told me that if she could do anything over, she would have spent more time with her 8 children and much less time making sure she had a clean house.

About 40 years ago a neighbors daughter came in an announced she was pregnant and said "now I'll get a bigger welfare check".
When I was young most people would actually go hungry before they would beg. Many wouldn't even accept charity from their own church or family.

...and it probably started with someone saying, "hold my beer, watch this!"

How about this place @Angie?

I saw the trees, I saw the top of the cabin - loving it, saw the water surrounding it, and no thank you. I don't do boats. And not homes on boats. Put it on shore and I'd LOVE it.

@Angie There isn't a lot of forsythia in these parts. I haven't seen one of these plants in a long time, cool pic.

I probably saw Johnny Carson less than a half dozen times in my life when his show was live, but I did see Tiger Woods as a very small child on there. He was 2 years old, and this is probably why he is so messed up. Too much attention and "isn't he wonderful?" made him narcissistic.

He can thank his parents for keeping him busy training . One heck of a golfer for sure.
