Very, very sad news today. Everyone stay safe, esp now that the rainy season starts, at least here in SoCal + winds.

wow, i just read this...what the FUCK is a 94 year old man doing driving...in all seriousness, he could potentially even just croak behind the wheel and end up killing someone else

about 3 wks ago ago 2 brothers that own a local restaurant were out for a ride, was a beautiful day out. some 74 year old fell asleep at the wheel (in the middle of the day) , rode across into the other lane and got into a head-on with one of them and killed him...he also clipped the 2nd bike, but the 2nd rider got away with minor injuries. he supposedly didn't wake up until he then crashed into a telephone pole. of course, said old man was unharmed.
