Cop dead. Family dead.

[The Deuce]

I flipped to the local 10 o'clock news and hear the following two stories:

1. Orange County Sherrif, 16 year veteran dead from major head trauma. Was in a motorcycle accident (on duty) a 16 year old girl pulled out and hit him, sending him 20 through the air. This was .5 miles from my mom's house, on a stretch of road I used to ride every day on my motorcycle. Could have just as easily been me.

2. Family from San Clemente (my town) died on the 405 when their car hit a concrete pillar up in LA. Both parents and two kids under the age of 3 all died at the scene, all wearing seatbelts/in the car seats.

I think I'm done watching the news for a while.
