what's next...

I can't say I have had a worse start to a weekend, well at least I wasn't planning on going for a motorcycle ride...

Thursday afternoon, Osman and I drove out to the quarry and everything was going as it usually would go. The landscape was beautiful, as it usually was, beautiful vegitation, it even increases as we get closer to the quarry. The vast land that is clearly used for agriculture, the cows and sheep are always fun. They cross the road and boy are those animals dumb... They look funny too, since they can't really turn their heads so well, they rotate their eyes back at you from the side, its very creepy and comical at the same time.

I would say we were about half way there, when all of a sudden there was a traffic buildup, which was in no way ordinary. As we crept along, we starting realizing there was an accident up ahead. No big deal, considering the first day I arrived I saw a car that had driven off the road, through the barrier railing and down into a valley, no one was hurt of course. This time was different...

As we approached the scene of the accident, the first sight was a body on the ground with a white cloth over it, next was what was once a motorbike which looked like it had been put into one of those car crushing machines at a scrap yard. After that most unpleasant sight, we then saw what it had collided with, it was a small car, no bigger than a Honda Civic. This car looked like it hit a tree, and the tree fell over into the windshield... The bumper, hood, fender windshield and roof were crashed in...

That is a lesson in just how important it is that one wears a helment ALWAYS! You may walk away to live another day...
