New Years Day 2007 - I wrecked my Land Rover in a near head on collision. The icy roads left behind by the recent blizzards here in Colorado got the best of me (or worst for that matter) and I hit a Toyota pickup. Luckily no one was hurt, which I am very thankful for. Such trauma has caused me to reflect greatly on many things.
