Hey folks, 

Just wanted to share the bad news that my friend Jim Wetherbee was badly injured while commuting home last night. He was struck by a pickup truck and has some very serious injuries. He's stabalized but will have to undergo major surgery on his pelvis and several lower vertebrae. The driver had sun in his eyes and swerved onto the shoulder hitting Jim. If your religious please keep him in your prayers, if not then thats cool.  Just pay attention out there. Our church will be organizing a donation fund to help if anyone is interested. Ill post up details when I get them. Thanks.

Our doubts are traitors and make us lose the good we oft might win by fearing to attempt.

This time of year is very dangerous.  The sun seems like it is always at a precarious position to blind drivers.  I would think twice amount riding in the mornings or evenings.
