as in the accident time of year. some of you have been reporting on the board about it, already. i just want you to be careful out there. those that are younger don't have the frame of reference, but please take the word from someone with experience: it doesn't matter how good of a driver you are, you cannot control what someone else does.

a perfect example: a nice, kick-back harley with saddle bags - not a retina-burning shade of orange or yellow on a rice rocket - was the victim of another driver's mistake. the harley could not avoid hitting the other vehicle. end result? dead motorcycle driver. dead vehicle driver (harley went through the driver's door. dead harley. not cool. now, you know, the harley rider was just out cruising, minding his own business. now he's not minding anything, but you can bet both of those drivers have families that have to live through a death in the immediate family.

people who have been around a little longer have, with some exceptions, seen how fleeting life can be. blink and it could be over. during the next few months there will be more idiots on the road than you can shake a stick at.

please be careful.
