You will be in my thoughts and prayers as well as your loved ones during this time. Please slow down and lightly traveled roads. It is hard to react to a deer in the road in an instant of a few seconds. I do thank my Phiscis progessor and my classes in clinical physcology. Takes the time for the brain to respond and then there is the the way a car or bike needs to react in order to lesson the damage. I really am said to hear about this. I lost a friend that rode a harley a few years back.
