A guy commuting on his bike got crushed by an 18-wheeler yesterday in my old neighborhood, right next to an elementary school. That narrow road is
restricted, and the truck shouldn’t even have been there in the first place
– but the police never bothers with such things. They had to reroute kids
on the way to school so they wouldn’t see it.
Keep thinking how it could have been me. Though I don’t even bike anymore.

It would be a responsible thing for me to get a life insurance now.
It’s $50/month – $600/year, and yet another thing that ties you down. But I should do it,
because it’s a kind of thing that all responsible people who are primary
breadwinners living in capitalist countries do. And I am a responsible
person.
