Jason Atkinson, state senator and gubernatorial candidate, as well as personal friend of this blogger, has been hospitalized after an accidental shooting. He apparently was shot in the knee after a loaded gun went off from inside another person's pack. No word yet how serious this is, but a leg wound can result in a LOT of blood loss, as well as causing potentially permanent mobility problems.
Jason, friend, we are praying for your swift and full recovery!
You'll be standing tall again in no time, Jason!

I am closing comments on this post. I know a lot of readers might have a lot to say about politics, bicycles, and gun control, but this is NOT the place.
My friend is in the hospital. Please save the other discussions for another time.
