PassPixi I feel you. I’ve been blue-lighted to hospital when a driver knocked me off my bike. Nasty injuries, took me a year to heal.

My wife got knocked off last year - just bruises/ scrapes but really traumatic for her.

I am reminded of a post from
a claims handler of a car insurer:

It was already heartbreaking on Monday morning to read the awful news of yet another road death in our city.
Today, seeing the beautiful 4 yr old who lost her life due to this rampant road violence is even more devastating.
RIP Mayar Yahia

In April 1938, Guy Callendar published his seminal paper showing that Earth’s land areas had warmed over the previous 50 years.
