Anyone want to bet who is more impaired a person who has dementia or person with .08 blood alcohol level.

We took care of my wife's mom for 7 months, she almost killed my wife driving the block.
If you look at the Comments on the Online site it looks like someone located him yesterday evening or thereabouts.

Dementia has levels. Some people could still drive even if they forget what they had for breakfast or repeat things that they just asked.

That other site has some rather dense reporters who should learn some discretion as to what they put in these descriptions.
