Glad to hear that you're okay ravenmore. You would be missed around here.

I had one of those "oh ****" moments last year where my reflexes / instinct kept me from getting hit head on by a pick up truck. I consider it one of the "defining moments" of my life, but not just because it could have ended it. It really made me appreciate a lot of different things, and not take them for granted: my family, my friends, my health, being able to ride, living in a great part of the country, places around the world I have visited... Ironically, that morning I had been listening to a CD that suggested writing your own obituary as a way of visualizing how you want your life to be. I just wasn't prepared to have an event that reinforced the idea so strongly!

Be careful out there, everyone.
