    Sorry to hear about your bad luck, even though I don't believe in Luck, you get my meaning. I pray it all works out for you and though they may slap you on the wrist, pray you get to stay. Being let go and having to find another job at your level of experience would suck but, lets be positive. You are showing much integrity by excepting what you feel is your resposiability for the damage. I respect that and keep it up.

    They do depends on wether safety considers it preventable or non preventable which a low bridge to me is always preventable just sucks ###

    Man alive, I'm so sorry Matt.......I've never hit anything but I have put the tandems in the ditch, twice....first time was my first week out and both times were in the dark trying to make a tight corner......and one time I put the tandems on a snow bank in Boston.

    Well, I'm headed back towards Nashville. Kinda feel like a child who has had her fun and now must return "home".....LOL....Went from Albuquerque to Sayre, OK, today....thot about going on to OKC but was just a little too tired and the timing would have had to be spot on.

    I probably shouldn't reply 'cause I'm still a student but I think they'll put you on probation. No one was hurt and it was an accident. Crap happens, it could've been worse.
