Wednesday, April 24, 2013  a shipmate of mine from our time on
the USS Olympia SSN717 has recovered enough from a truck nearly
killing him to post some photos. People, open your damn eyes,
use your damn brakes.  the moron driving the above SUV was
driving at 70 miles per hour. They did not see Pat, he was
riding the bike below. They did not hit their brakes. they went
on to roll their SUV 3 times. No idea why they didn't see Pat,
no word on how they made such an egregious error of driving, or
how much they were hurt from rolling their SUV 3 times  Pat
needed a lot of surgeries, blood, luck and skilled doctors to
recover from the incredible pummeling and amputation of a leg.
It's your ass on the line out there on a bike, theres no cage to
keep you safe, not a single airbag.  So could you readers do a
simple 2nd look for bikers tomorrow when you drive? It's going
to save at least one life  This ends my public service
announcement, and I'll now resume the regular cool posts.
