I was a safe driver and obeyed the rules especially since I had no crumple zones to protect me and still I was almost hit twice from people who never saw me.

This was a touching story. It made me think back to my first love, he died at 15 after being stabbed at a Kool & The Gang concert. He didn't even like disco! It was the first time someone I knew and cared about had died. You've inspired me. I might post about that someday.Scarlethttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17560614073319109150noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9454941.post-68672360696101688632007-10-07T05:45:00.000-04:002007-10-07T05:45:00.000-04:00Mike, thanks, fishing was goodGautami, they can be...Mike, thanks, fishing was good<BR/><BR/>Gautami, they can be bad.
