Our prayers go out to him also. I have heard of Mr Penny.

I was at Toomer’s Corner last night. Bad accident there right before my eyes. A motorcyclist was hit by a car trying to take a left on College St. Said he didn’t even see the guy. The motorcylce did not have his headlight on, and this was just at dusk.

Too many people drive like jerks downtown; especially College and Magnolia where the lanes go from two to one.

Oh my! It was foolish of the cyclist to not have his headlight on. Was he wearing a helmet (although that doesn’t help with shoulders, back, etc. when you go flying!)?

You are absolutely right about traffic at that corner. IIRC, for many, many years, left turns were not allowed. I think that changed in the 90s.

I didn’t realize you lived here, too. Are you a prof, student, Mises Institute, or like me, just livin’?
