Another one...I was riding home yesterday afternoon through Gresham (Oregon) and took a side street that is normally free of traffic, but this time it was stacked up, both ways. When I got to the main street (Burnside), I could tell whatever was holding up traffic was to my right, and I was thankful that I was turning left; you know, no one likes being in traffic.
This morning, a friend texts and asks if I saw the report about the guy who got killed on a motorcycle. I hadn't, but then I looked it up and realized the accident was the reason for the traffic jam from yesterday.

Then my daughter calls from California as she is on her way for a fun European trip, and she's all upset. Turns out the young man killed was a pretty good friend from hers since grade school, then middle school, all the way through high school as well.
I could tell what was on her mind. She asked me to be extra special careful while riding. I asked her if she thought I should give up riding. She said no...that she still wants to ride with me (2-up). Just that it was upsetting.
Safe riding, folks.
