Subject: And yet another cycling accident near Jordan Lake

Having just caught up with the news of the recent hit and run incident in North Chatham County in the Raleigh paper, where comments were abundant on both sides of the issue of cyclists on the roads, it is perhaps time to remind those cycling on the roads around Jordan Lake that certain risks must be accepted in this sport, just as risks have to be accepted when skiing down a mountain.  There are many boat trailers traversing these roads and many drivers have no idea whether their boat trailer tires are on the road or not.  The sun is going down in the afternoons, often creating glares on the windows of motorists when many are cycling and not clearly seen.

Subject: Deer Season

Nothing against deer hunting, only where the loose bullet end up. For the last three years, in my back yard deck.

Someone is out there that hunts or fires in the same direction without thinking of where that bullet is going to land.

Remember what goes up…..must come down. They can travel a long distance.

Please be careful !!!!! I fear for my family to use the yard during deer season.
