A little perspective goes a long way...

Warning, the following photos are graphic in nature.

So you think you have a bad day, nothing goes right, or something little happens that sours your mood and you think why me. It just isn't fair, or the stress of Calgary life is too much, maybe your job is seemingly driving you to the brink... well my day wasn't bad at all, in fact I had a pretty good day, with a few minor hiccups and yet these minor hiccups had me brooding.

Until I saw this... (warning, graphic)

Calgary Police shut down both directions of Deerfoot Trail during the afternoon rush hour Monday, after a serious crash in the southbound lanes near 130th Avenue southeast.
The crash happened at approximately 4:45 p.m. (side note, I was there at 4:49) and two people were injured, one of them critically.
A man believed to be in his fifties who had been ejected from his vehicle and sustained a significant head injury. He was transported to the Foothills Hospital in critical life-threatening condition.The second patient was a woman also believed to be in her fifties, who suffered minor injuries and was transported to the Rockyview Hospital in stable non-life-threatening condition.Both patients were the only occupants of their vehicles. The driver of the semi truck was uninjured.

Slow down people, it's hard enough to drive on Calgary roads without all the dangerous driving tendencies.
