Re: RC: A tragic story-(sorry it's so long)

   It's unfortunate that you felt upset at Ti's caustic remarks (it's just 
his style, you know).  However, I hasten to point out to you that you have 
indeed accomplished the good deed of alerting other horse people to the 
tragic reality of the dangers inherent in riding on the road, especially in 
low light conditions. And I know that I speak for many of us in expressing 
symathy for your friends' loss.
