Seeing bad accidents is never a good thing.
I meant to include in my last post about my trip TO the interview yesterday.
I was on my way getting my "game face" on in my car- and right where 70 crosses over to the ramps to 465, I watched the traffic scatter in front of me- well- obviously, an accident had just occurred. But as I drove forward (I wasn't close enough to be a 'witness') and passed, I noticed a body on the road and people were then getting out of their cars and running over. Then I saw the motorcycle ahead of it. And then I saw the rider, up close. It was a horrible site. No helmet- his head was cracked open and he was shaking- I'm SURE he did not survive. I was horribly shaken when I arrived at my interview- and I still cant' get it out of my head.
A semi- had switched lanes and didn't see the biker- sideswiped him as he moved.
I don't think any of you ride at the moment- but if you EVER ride a motorcycle- wear a helmet. You might still get broken bones and marred skin if in an accident- but you might just save your brain...
Sorry for the downer today- it was just awful though.....
