hasbin Posted April 28, 2012 Share Posted April 28, 2012 I left work on time yesterday on time & on my to my favorite independent shop to pick-up some parts that have come in, Smooth sailing till I get within 10 miles of the shop, road block & cops everywhere, I dive down a side street & cut thru a housing tract thinking I just cut a fat hog (not a chance) road still blocked 3 miles away Now I'm getting pissed a bit, So I decide to take a different route altogether, Over a mountain & onto HWY 118 & I'm in good shape (still pissed) I get to the shop just in time & get my parts & I'm a happy camper, All is good. I pick-up the paper this morning & read about a 61 year old motorcyclist that was killed on Santa Rosa Rd in Camarillo yesterday @ 3:30 PM when a truck pulled-out in front of him. NOT A HAPPY CAMPER & ALL IS NOT GOOD Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When it's a Fatality, they have to shutdown the road even if it takes hours to do the investigation & clean up.

hasbin Posted April 28, 2012 Author Share Posted April 28, 2012 Doc, I have seen a few accidents & a few close calls on this road as it is the fastest route from Camarillo to Simi Valley, I ride very cautious on this stretch of pavement as there are a few housing tracts & a couple retirement communities along with about 7 miles of agriculture, All that spells out that one should pay attention to WTF is going on around you. I was just upset at myself for being pissed-off & possibly not getting my parts when I wanted them & then finding out that somebody lost their life. I still haven't stated installing them Note: I might know this person, They haven't released any names yet, But I have fielded about 20 calls to see if I was still breathing.

Prof. O Posted April 28, 2012 Share Posted April 28, 2012 I think we're all guilty of caring for ourselves and not understanding that someone else is having a much worse go of it. Doesn't make the situation better but your story tells us what kind of a descent person you are based on your reflections. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
