There has been another motorcycle accident on FM 830 this 4th of July weekend. I haven't found out all of the details as of this post, but, here is what happened to Katie and myself (Katie was with me, at the time).
Katie and I had run out to the store for some last minute items for the weekend (this was Saturday). When we got back (mostly back), we found that we had just missed a motorcycle crashing into an SUV in front of 7 Coves subdivision. There was a fatality last month and one last year at the same time of day. It was about 7:30p and the sun was just over the top of the road (facing west, of course). This time of year and that time of day, you CANNOT see anything headed east-bound.
Katie and I pulled up to the scene right after the ambulance got there. There were police cars all over the place. We go there and were the first in line. you couldn't see anything because the guy was on the ground right in front of the SUV. The SUV was in the turning lane to go into 7 Coves. She didn't appear to be moving (there were no skid marks from the car). The motorcycle skid marks were about 40 feet long. We saw him wriggle his toes as the picked up the backboard and put it on the stretcher.
Last night I was told by Shelly, up the street, that he didn't make it. Something really needs to be done there, although, I admit, I don't know what it could be. First off, he wasn't wearing a helmet or even a shirt. That sucks.

Happy Fourth of July
Listening to the news and hearing about all of the crap that is out there, this might be one of the very LAST American celebrations for Independence Day. Our president (who shouldn't be president because he can't even prove that he was born in this beloved country) is taking our nation apart a substantial chunk at a time. One of the things that frightens me is this ...
As Americans, since December 15, 1791, we have had the RIGHT to bear arms to defend ourselves against tyrany. Tyrants can be in the form of home invaders, threatening our lives, the lives of loved ones and our property. Anyway, the Supreme Court just ruled that Americans have a constitutional right to keep and bear arms. Good! Here's the problem, the vote was 5 to 4. What the hell is that? it should have been 9 to 0! My country is suffocating, and this country put those people in power.
