The bike broke into three pieces and he cracked his skull open from front to back. There was nothing we could do for him. He was coming from a blind turn making him invisible to the cars driver until the last minute. There weren't even any skid marks. Please be careful out there folks.

One of my pilots asked me after the flight, "how can you get on your bike to ride home after you just carried that mutt's leg to the ship in a bag?" I said, " Because I'm not an asshat."
I'm sorry. I don't know how y'all do the jobs you do, but I appreciate it.
