Good afternoon all.  We decided to take a drive up to the mountains today.  I know these directions won&#39;t mean anything to you guys, but as we were approaching our turn off of Highway 93 onto Highway 72, an ambulance came up behind us.  We pulled over and then after he passed us, we continued.  He too, turned ont0 Highway 72.  About 2 miles up the road, as we were coming to another curve, we saw that there was a fireman in full yellow coat and pants, standing in the road holding a stop sign.  As we were only the 2nd car, we could see a little bit around the curve and saw a Highway Patrol and the ambulance in the road.  We were probably stopped 5 minutes or so, and at least 5 more police cars came up.  This is a mountain road with only 1 lane each way, so the police cars were passing in the oncoming lane, but no traffic was coming from that way either, as I assume it was stopped on the other side.  Greg got out and talked to the fireman because he was wondering if we should wait or turn around.  The fireman said that a cyclist had been hit, he wasn&#39;t sure if it was a motorcycle or a bicycle - both are numerous in that area, and that flight for life was being brought in.  Then one of the police officers came up and said they were going to have to turn everyone around so they could clear the road.  When we got to the bottom of the hill, the helicopter was already there, but was circling while 2 fire trucks sprayed the field with water, as it is bone dry.  I assume they were going to bring the injured person or persons down the hill in the ambulance and then load them into the helicopter because there would have been no way for the copter to land at the accident site as it is a forest.  I called my son and asked him, for my peace of mind, if he would promise me not to go motorcycle riding today - he has ridden it the past few days.  He told me I worry too much, and I do, but I can&#39;t help it.  I have really been praying for whomever the victim of this accident was and for their family.  We took another route and headed back up into the mountains.  We went to Black Hawk, which is our big casino town, and had lunch at one of the buffets and played a few slots (with no luck, I might add).   I am still here guys, just trying to get caught up on things around here as this was my first &quot;free&quot; week for sometime (free of houseguests and hubby off work).  Hopefully, this week, I will get back in the swing of things and be back here with all of my crazy friends on a more regular basis.  Mary Lou, keep us posted on how your daughter is doing, please.  Rose, I hope you have a fabulous trip to NYC - I know you said you don&#39;t like flying, just do what I do - drink a lot&#33;&#33;&#33;  Well, just wanted to check in before our down time tonight, so gotta&#39; run.  Talk to you guys tomorrow...
