Be careful out there

This morning 

there was a report 

on my news feed 

about a semi east of Denver near Limon 

going east in the westbound lane.  

A sheriff's deputy 

got in front of him 

and shined his light in his face 

and he did not respond.  

The semi did not have it's lights on.  

The semi hit 

a westbound car head-on 

and the driver of that car was killed.  

The semi driver 

was transported to the hospital 

and the Colorado State Patrol 

is investigating 

the possibility of drugs or alcohol.  

Over the weekend 

a young mother 

was on the ski slopes 

near Casper, Wyoming 

when they were hit by a young snowboarder.  

The 5 year old girl 

and the snowboarder 

were both killed.  

Neither were 

wearing helmets.  

Don't ever, ever believe 

that cars on the road 

are all heading 

in the right direction.  

Never, ever believe 

that your head 

is stronger than a good helmet.  

'nuff said.
