Perhaps fast, flaunting the law. Speaking of bar hopping ... I have from time to time operated a motorcycle when I wasn't fully sober. I almost wonder if, for certain types of accidents, it isn't better to be drunk. The other day I was out at the casino drinking and gambling, hopped on the bike, realized I was impaired, and stopped at the local Denny's for some food to help sober me up. I still wasn't sober after the food. I took the back roads home. I was just humming along enjoying the scenery and suddenly Bambi ran across the road right-to-left and cleared me by maybe 10 feet. I didn't react to it because I was looking at something to my left and when I snapped my eyes back I had Bambi (crossing from right to left) in the crosshairs ... by the time I was ready to react he or she was already clear of me. It wasn't a large deer ... maybe 100 lbs. I slowed down by 10 MPH or so and continued humming along back home. Anyway, two thoughts occurred to me: a)Being intoxicated, I was a lot more relaxed about nearly hitting the deer than I would have been sober. It didn't stress me at all. I just laughed. b)I might be better off physiologically being drunk for that kind of accident. (I know people tend to get injured less in falls when they are drunk because they are relaxed.) DF

Sounds reasonable to me. Sounds about right. DF
