Default Sorry

This sort of accidents happen so easily. Stupid mistakes they are but, I cant help feeling sorry and sad for the ones involved and more so for the ones left behind.
Lets all be as careful as we can be.

Lost his arm and leg? Was that before he died? Don't want to say he had it commin' but what the H is th ehurry? Life is too short to be doin' stupid stuff like passing with oncoming trafie even in sight! Even if you are riding on a mission toget somewhere (work or play) take enough time to enjoy the ride. Isn't that what this is supposed to be about anyway?
There ... I'll get off my soap box now. Sorry for the rant but this sensless crap ticks me off!!!
