...like yesterday never was




This morning the sky is so clear, barely a cloud just after dawn, that it's hard to believe that yesterday was stormy, rainy, snowy with such dangerous roads which caused accidents minor and fatal. For the Cohen-Or family, which lost both parents and has an extremely injured sister, things will never be the same. The teacher who was driving me to work yesterday will just have to get the car repaired, and we'll be back to business as usual.

Motorcycle accidents

I didn't blog about what I saw on Sunday, but now that I read about a motorcyclist being killed in an accident, I guess I ought to.

Sunday night on the way home from Beit El, between the "T junction" and Ofra, we suddenly heard a loud "swooosh!" A motorcycle sped past us, like a maniac. We were glad to see the back of him. The guy driving me finds them frightening, since he was once involved in an accident with a motorcycle. He dropped me off to wait outside of Ofra for a continuation of my trip,since he wasn't going to be passing Shiloh.

A few minutes later I had a ride, and a couple of kilometers on, at the beginning of Waadi Charamiya, I saw a motorcycle and its driver down with people checking to see if he was ok. He looked like the one who had passed us. I quickly called my friend, who said that he had also seen him and was sure it was the same one. The driver was alive. More than that, I don't know, nor do I know who he is.
