Deer and Cars

     I ran across a news article the other day concerning a biker a deer and a person in a car.  Just something to think about as it is motorcycle safety month.  The biker hit the deer and because he wasn't wearing a helmet lay unconscious in the road.  Not a safe thing in the least, and then a driver who evidently wasn't paying attention ran over the biker and killed the biker.  Now as unlikely as all that circumstance seems, things like this do happen.  Bikers hit deer and cars hit bikers, that is common, but to have two of them happen to the same biker is unfortunate.  All of us need to be aware of our surroundings so that we can miss the deer or biker in the road.  If it's easy to miss the car pulling out in front of you for what ever reason, maybe take the time to slow down and really evaluate a situation before acting.  We share the roads with others in life, lets take the time to watch out for one another.
