[QUOTE="SacramentoMike, post: 997100, member: 11508"] Probly not. Not right, I mean. :rolleyes: But of course your ass and probably quite a bit more will no doubt be damn sore for some time to come MB. Sorry about it, but the rest of it could be worse, as you know, and good insurance is the icing on the cake. So your story: Crappy as it is, it's great that you gave us such a detailed description of what happened. None of us should ever forget how fast and easily something like this can happen most anywhere and in any conditions. Yep, [B][I]possible [/I][/B]you could have gotten out of the way somehow, if everything had gone perfectly. [B][I]Possible [/I][/B]she might have seen and avoided you if you'd had some bright flashy thingies (like in Men In Black) on your rear. Maybe not, too, though. Happens so fast, and we have so much time afterwards to think about what we might have done differently. So it's good to spend some time now--before the accident, for most of us--thinking about what we can do to be seen, to dress protectively, to get out of the way, to anticipate, whatever we can do, or hope to do, before some bozo is five feet away from us and coming on fast. Kind of late, then. Good recovery to you, Maj, physical and financial. edit: Meant to add, sorry to hear about the loss of your Dad, too. [/QUOTE]
