Posted this on another thread or similar words as such....but had an aha moment today. We get folks down here from all over the country--world really. SOME live in large cities where folks seem to drive as if on the autobahn (have you been to Chicago??). They bring these habits down here with them. Put with that unfamiliarity of the area, having certain afflictions, being on medications and just not paying attention into the mix! Should be a HUGE front page article on this in The Sun...but doubt that will happen.

We ALL have stories from when we've been out and about! The other evening, returning from supper in SS and going on the multi-model along Morse, before you get to the Malory golf-course (it was dark!!!!) we met a biker WITHOUT a light or reflective ANYTHING (dark clothing even). Heard from someone who preceeded us that they were passing a golf-cart and as they pulled into their lane they encountered the biker---had it been a couple of seconds difference there would have been another bike/cart accident and head-on! GAH!!!!!!
