I am glad he will recover and sorry that it happened to you and your family my friend. Kind of makes my dads brushes with death seem rather mild.
I know how shit like that can happen around here.
Very very little Lighting.
Especially on that Street Campbell.
Crap I use my Brights when driving around here.
right now still dealing with my workmans comp case
and my mother is at the clinic for the next six weeks for 5 days a week
for radiation to try and shrink or at least stop this supposed benign tumor from pressing on the nerves
screwed up thing with that was she could have had this thing for 5 years and the doctors had no clue that she had it. She had a prism on her glasses for awhile and then surgery twice to fix drooping with her eyelids.
but back to the other thing
used to think of my father as a magnet for crazy people driving.
He got hit standing on the sidewalk while working as a police man but the worst was when he got cut off on the motorcycle but he only had a busted collarbone and a punctured lung from that. His helmet did bust in half though.
This happened downtown over by the old aquarium he was coming back from working a concert I think down at nautica and was going to drive thru bratenhal to get home. this was when we lived in Euclid.
mostly all I have been doing is writing.
and getting ready to go back to work.
Miss you my friend
your emails
Hope to hear from you soon.
