Wow... what strange timing. I was just talking on the phone with a friend
of mine in Texas. She's on her way today to her sister-in-law's funeral.
Sad day for her. Seems she was riding her motorcycle just 1/4 mile down the
road and had an accident and no helmet. That was 2 years ago... She
developed numerous complications over the years directly related to the
accident, and just last week had one leg amputated due to uncontrollable
swelling and some other medical jargon that I didn't understand. As they
solved one problem, others popped up and took their place.

The complications were coming in faster than the doctors could correct it.
They even considered amputating the other leg, but they didn't have enough
time. Just before I hung up the phone, my friend said.. "If only she had
her helmet on, I wouldn't have to see her like this today". Hard to say if
all these problems were directly attributed to not wearing a helmet, but
only the Doctors can say for sure. It just was such weird timing... having
this conversation with her, and replying to similar topics on the DML at the
same time. Just a really weird feeling.

Drive safe everyone.
