PEDESTRIAN DEATHS

Another area of risk is intoxicated individuals behind the wheel as well as on the street. More than 30% of pedestrians 16 years old or older who were killed in a car crash had a BAC of 0.08 or higher. This reveals that walking under the influence of alcohol, not just driving, is hazardous. There are things we can do as drivers to lessen the risk of pedestrian deaths. This includes watching our speed and being aware of our surroundings. Additionally, the Governors Highway Safety Association released a report and explained their Safe System approach that aims to eliminate all road deaths. The five elements of the approach are safe people, safe roads, safe vehicles, safe speeds, and post-crash care. The goal of this approach is to create a transportation system that takes human mistakes into account and seeks to keep crash impacts at survivable levels when people are struck by cars.

Now that she’s 21, I quietly wonder how life will be as she starts to spread her wings and eventually leaves the nest. I pray she will stay close to Liz and me geographically, and I hope we can always make regular time to be together. I hope our special father/daughter bond will continue to grow. One of the things Jessie and I do together in the summer is get ice cream downtown in Newburyport where we live. As bad as eating ice cream three nights a week is for a guy my age, I just can’t bring myself to say no when she asks. I cherished every step on those nightly walks and every lick of the cone was sweeter because I was with her. I swear God removes the calories when ice cream is consumed in this manner (my waistline says otherwise however). So, to Jessie I say, thank you for 21 of the best years of my life, happy birthday, and I love you more than you’ll ever understand!
