Everyone. PLEASE wear helmets when you ride your bike. Daniel would probably be dead or a vegetable right now if he hadn't been wearing a helmet when he took a spill on Saturday night.
It's still a bit mysterious what happened-- he suffered a concussion (even WITH helmet) and lost about an hour of memory. Apparently he lost control of his bike somehow and flipped in the midst of thick car traffic. Through a twist of fate, I witnessed the scary-looking post-crash scene from the bus I was riding, which I think I will remember in horrifying flashbacks for a good long time. I am so thankful that it wasn't as bad as it looked. We got off easy, given what could have happened!
So, I implore all bike riders: even careful riders can get in accidents. Be careful, but also wear a helmet! Always!
In the day spent watching concussion-victim-Daniel for signs of more severe damage, I managed to get a little art-ing done for my roommate Nina's booklet about the UW farm. (Clever segue, eh?)
These are little watercolor illustrations to function as headers for various topics in the booklet:

I'm not going to try to explain the last one...
Perhaps my favorite image in the book is this illustration by Nina:
"Imagine a time and place where ecology students
cannot recognize a carrot growing in the ground..."
