Thanks for the kind words and I too really enjoy that picture!

He usually gets 'carried' away with the song and, in his words, enters a trace like state. Thus resulting in accidents. Some where we need to realize that listening to great stuff while driving insults the music greatly! Like your blog and will surely come back for more. It was my pleasure in linking the pic to your site. the picture really hit the point home! Hi Webs,

Dang, I'm not sure the first thing I would want is a hug after getting in an accident like that. But at least she was nice about it.

You think it’s significant that it was a church parking lot exit?

You think it's significant that it was a church parking lot exit? I was once hit by a car while riding. There was no music involved, just me, the sidewalk, and the car that appeared in front of me too quickly to avoid. I ended up flying over the hood and somersaulting on the pavement beyond. I wasn't really injured, and it was funny to me that the first thing the driver did - she being a pretty young woman - was jump out of the car and give me a hug. Sounds like a narrow escape.

I thought to myself once that listening to music would be really cool. But the hundred times I almost got hit by a car kept popping into my head too. Stupid brain. I couldn’t agree more!

Hearing cars approaching from behind is something important to know... If a driver doesn't see you, he doesn't know you're there. Assuming otherwise can be an expensive mistake.
