Hall of Shame
The Fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, forbearance, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness and self-control

“Considering your Country decided not to give me the Nobel Peace Prize for having stopped 8 Wars PLUS, I no longer feel an obligation to think purely of Peace,” the 79-year-old wrote in a message to his Norwegian counterpart.
Does someone who thinks "purely of Peace" really care about awards? No! That's more like the behaviour of a tantrum throwing egotist.
After former Michigan Rep. John Dingell, who had served in Congress for over 59 years died in 2019, Mr. Trump suggested that he was looking up from hell. Imagine how his widow felt about that.
This true story is about and written by a good friend. He has fought so very hard to get back on a bike. His determination is something to be respected. He was riding his bike to work (in a bike lane) when the driver decided to turn right directly in front of him leaving no time for him to even brake. This guy is very safety conscious. He usually has two lights on the back and front. There's no way the driver could have missed seeing him.
Frustrated!
August 19, 2024 was the day my life was forever changed. I was hit by a car while bike commuting to work. Lucky to have survived, immediate surgery and MONTHS of recovery followed. I am only a fraction of the cyclist I was the day before. Today was the final step in the legal matter. The driver Kyle Bailey of Jackson MI was sentenced to 24 months of probation. Judge Jinan H Hamood of Washtenaw County was the presiding judge, she sent a clear message, hitting a cyclist in a bike lane and leaving the scene is okay in Washtenaw County Michigan. Remember her name, Jinan H Hamood when voting for your county judge.
And then there's one from a few years back
Man gets six months for striking, killing cyclist at Island Lake State Park last spring
BRIGHTON, Mich. (WXYZ) — The driver responsible for striking and killing a cyclist in Brighton last spring will spend six months behind bars.
Dan Horal was killed while he was riding his bike at Island Lake State Park.
“It was very powerful to have so many people just on such a short notice turn up in support of Danny," his sister, Helen Smith, said.
“He was in bright colors," his brother, James, said. "It was a day in the early spring, no leaves on the trees. There is no way he should have been missed.”
But he was — and later died at the hospital.
Dan’s family, and the cycling community here — want his loss to serve as a reminder to drivers to pay attention.
Last year, around 500 people participated in the “Do It For Dan Ride” — which raises awareness about the dangers of distracted driving.
Andrew Greff will serve 10 days in jail right away, but because of COVID-19, he will serve the remainder of that six-month sentence on weekends. He was also sentenced to two years' probation for Horal's death.
"It may be a misdemeanor to the court system and the law, but it's not a misdemeanor to us," Jane Horal, Dan's wife said.
Dan’s friends and family want Andrew Greff, the driver responsible for his death last April, to know that.“It was very powerful to have so many people just on such a short notice turn up in support of Danny," his sister, Helen Smith, said.
Greff was convicted of a moving violating causing death. Before he was sentenced to 6 months in jail, his attorney said in court he was remorseful.
Dan, who was 62 and an avid cyclist, had just retired from the University of Michigan. That day last April, he was doing something he did often… hitting the pavement on his bike.
“He was doing all the right things," his brother, Billy, said.“He was in bright colors," his brother, James, said. "It was a day in the early spring, no leaves on the trees. There is no way he should have been missed.”
But he was — and later died at the hospital.

“He would want something good to come from this," Jane said. "And we’re on our way to making that happen.”
This year, they’re again expecting a large crowd. For Dan’s brother Bill, the route is especially symbolic. A place they often rode together.
“Without it ever being said, he and I would always have a little competition or race to the top of the hill," Billy said. “To this day when I ride, I can see him next to me. As I race up that hill. He always beats me now. He’s on eagle's wings.”
This year's "Do It For Dan" ride will take place September 27 at Island Lake State Park.
Cyclists will wear masks and are encouraged to practice social distancing. Proceeds of the event will go toward a scholarship fund at Brighton High School, Horal's alma mater.
Hey buddy, watch your speed
Here are some videos of drivers without concern for safety or speed limits
Here's a truck blowing past me at 67 mph in 55 mph zone.
So this driver must have been running real late for something.
Thankfully is wasn't my funeral.
He buzzed me at 80 mph in a 55 zone.
