To: Constitution Day; Bacon Man
About 15 years ago, I saw an old man on a bike get hit by an 18-wheeler here in Rocky Mount.
He got thrown clear across the intersection; I will never forget it.
Bacon had a similar experience some two decades ago, and lived to tell. (He was the cyclist, not the trucker.)

I can't remember exactly, but I think the newspaper said the old guy was dead from the truck impact before he even hit the ground.
I stopped and called 911 from a pay phone, and then had to wait for the police to get there.
To tell you the truth, it's something I wish I had never seen.

Bacon had a similar experience some two decades ago, and lived to tell. (He was the cyclist, not the trucker.) You know, it hurt.
