In life news, my brother Alek, who some of you may remember from my previous reports, was hit by a car last week. He was crossing the street at a crosswalk on his way home from work at about 2pm and an 84-year-old lady turned left on a red light and hit him. She blamed "glare from the sun" for not seeing him disregarding her illegal turn!!
Luckily she was not travelling quickly and hit the brakes right before she hit him otherwise we would probably have lost him. He says it felt like he was pushed to the ground really hard. As it is he hurt his arm and ankle but says he feels almost back to normal other than being nervous around cars now. It was scary to hear and realize that my brother was almost killed.
