About a week ago, another person was killed in the exact same intersection Gary had his accident, and because of the same problem: someone coming from the golf course didn’t see an oncoming car on the highway and pulled in front of them. As Gary said when he heard this, choking up, “How many people are going to have to die or be seriously injured there?” The yellow blinking light they put in after his accident clearly is not enough, but the law is the traffic count has to be a certain amount for them to consider a stoplight.
A couple weeks ago, Gary found a 20/20 (TV show) spot on the internet, about someone who recently suffered a spinal cord injury as a result of a motorcycle stunt. Gary called me to watch it with him. The segment starts out heartwarming, about how the young guy’s girlfriend devoted herself to his care for the 10 months he was in the hospital. The segment ends when she brings him home from the hospital. And at that same time informs him she is leaving him!!! Gary and I looked at each other, appalled. Jeez, thanks for sharing that clip, 20/20. I know that kind of thing happens, but how horrible it would be to be newly injured and see that.
Gary’s UTI came back (rats), but he knocked it out with a stronger antibiotic.
Well, so that this entry isn’t entirely a downer, I would like to inform you that I have won both the Irish and the Spanish lotteries, according to my email.
