Beefs and Bouquets for July 22

BOUQUET: Huge bouquets and heartfelt thanks to the folks who helped after my accident July 13 on the 4000-block of Metchosin Road. A small deer jumped directly in front of my large scooter (Bergman 400) and I slammed hard on my brakes. The deer was hit but took off. I fell hard on my shoulder. You all leaped into action, keeping me from moving, talking to me, directing traffic, calling 911, taking care of my belongings and assisting Fire and EMS responders, as I lay on my back on the hot asphalt. The competent and caring responses of everyone who helped me that day were great reminders of the good there is in this world.
