extraordinarily warm weather today.

rode in on the bike path this morning. rode home on the path but had a disturbing ride home when there was a serious accident on Storrow Drive, which runs alongside the bike path. I arrived very shortly after the accident and along with several passersby did my best to assist. I had a reflective t-shirt, which I quickly donned and got out to direct traffic and keep things moving so that emergency vehicles could get to the victims. There were 3 men, one of whom was very seriously injured and spread out across the front seat unconscious, the other two were out of the vehicle and semi-conscious and bleeding and vomiting. Unfortunately, there was a small boy in the car as well. He was in the best shape but, naturally, in tears and very upset.

Man, cars are freaky and dangerous. It's amazing how instantly they can turn into flying weaponry.
