Title: Saw a dead body today... Post by aikigreg on Aug 12th, 2009, 2:28pm Was doing my interval training for my coach, and mapping one of my Big Cow Bent routes.  I was on the clear fork trail and saw a white minivan, police, and a man lying face up.  Thought the cops were arresting someone and about to cuff him until they covered his head with a sheet.  Then I saw the crime scene tape and the CSI unit.  They were still there on my way back and I unfortunately got a closer look.  He was wearing a suit.  I dunno any details and not sure I want to know.  Made my ride a very eerie thing.

He could have been sleeping, kinda like dogs and cats tend to do in the middle of the road

Post by Tom Nuchols on Aug 13th, 2009, 9:04am There is so much stuff going on, and only a small precentage o this type of thingmakes the news any more.  To make the news it probalbly has to be something high profile, during a period high news articles.  The more high profile news sthere is the less you hear about  this knd of thing.
