Moving about

So yesterday I found out that a friend I had I the fairview youth group passed away in a car wreck. Garrett bowlan was driving about 7:30 in the morning in Woodward when he crossead the center line and hit a semi head on.

Automobile accidents for some reason have become "acceptable" losses for our society. Really technologically there's no reason this has to be the case. An proper infstucture and standards could not only eliminate accidents but also increase productivity during commute time and probably change some social norms about the need to own ones own car.

Pods of single rider trains are the future and hopefully in between we can create something to make our lives more productive and less full of a late night surprise phone call about someone we care about
