They should start daylighting the action in trauma centers — MVAs destroy families, friendships, and the poor healthcare workers who have to try to stitch everyone back together.
Very common for Americans to personally know someone who has died or experienced grievous bodily harm.
So much death.

I will never, ever understand why Americans don't give a damn about traffic violence. I mean, what the fuck is wrong with us? Cars kill the population of a small city, exploding bodies and ripping innocent people to shreds, and only a relative handful of us even notice. Or care.

Sigh. Just read a heartbreaking email from a friend who filled me in on the details of the Montclair Halloween massacre, then described a conversation with a relative of another fallen bicyclist. I feel like someone just squeezed my heart until it burst.

I'm dealing with another migraine tonight, and have an early vet visit in the morning — no, not for me — our spokes corgi is dealing with a pretty serious back injury. So I'm giving up on trying to keep my eyes open tonight, and I'll see you on Wednesday.
