Let's forget this was on McNeil on the other side of Parmer - from one of the places on 183 (miles away).

Flying objects include large boats, semi trucks, two cars in fully engaged mid-air collision, birds - many many birds. The most eye catching, to date, was the guy that rear-ended and tumbled over a car on his Gixxer. No traffic, her in the middle lane, just rode up and smacked into her. If myself and a guy in a truck hadn't stopped - he would have beat the crap out of the poor woman that was just driving down the road.

Remind me never to ride, drive, sleep, stand, sit or be anywhere in front of you if we ever meet. I'd be happy to meet you, but only standing to the side.

Apparently, to the side is a good place to be... Tracy won an iPod that way.
