Hope the cyclist can make a good recovery.

Automobiles are among the dangerous things we allow people to own without controls. Until something dramatic happens we tend to forget how powerful and life-threatening automobiles are.

He had a head wound which was bleeding pretty bad but the ambulance crew was most concerned about lower back injuries. A very sad commentary on our healthcare system is one of the first things he said to me was he has insurance. When the EMT’s arrived they had to ask him which insurance he has, if he has his card and which hospital he can be taken to which will cover him. That’s fucked up.
