Of more concern is the hematoma that's taken over the entire inside of my right thigh. It's not pretty, despite all its varied colors.<br /><br />As for the people, I just wonder how any of them would have felt if they'd been the one to wipe out.

I find that my faith in humanity travels on a permanent rollercoaster as a direct result of incidents like this.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
