My husband is an avid biker and I worry every time he leaves the house that he will never come back. I always make him give me a time he is due to return so I know when to send the dogs out. <br /><br />As for the driver, I'm thinking the same thing as calibos mom. I'm hoping it was because the driver didn't have insurance or was afraid of deportation and not just that she was a cold-blooded witch. Either way, there is absolutely no excuse for not stopping.<br /><br />Best of luck to Peter!brookehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15114483651100368830noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4272160714315459088.post-44128295305234343292009-04-24T22:29:00.000-05:002009-04-24T22:29:00.000-05:00I'm so glad that there were witnesses who did the ...I'm so glad that there were witnesses who did the right thing.<br /><br />Hitting someone is a terrible thing but to hit and run?
