As a member of Weight Watchers I regularly surf their threads. I found this post about a fellow commuter and cyclist who has experienced one our worst nightmares ...

"Kathleen Putman is in the Hospital in Critical Condition. She was hit by car on her way to work (while riding her bike) She had a severed aorta that they have repaired...back is broken in several places and neck is broken. "

If anyone would like to send a card, to let her know there are many here that are thinking of her and wishing her a full and speedy recovery, here is the address:

Katie Putman
Baylor Hospital
4 North ICU, Bed 435
Roberts Building
3500 Gaston Avenue
Dallas Texas 75246

Is there any indication on how the accident happened? I might send a card this weekend if I get around to it.

I have not heard any details. It is my understanding that the police are withholding any details for the time being.
