I just got back from my first MRI. When they pushed me in the tube I imagined I was at the trailhead for Salmon Mountain. I walked up the trail to the lookout, checking for rising trout in the lake, checking for elk and moose, seeing the full sun and full moon in the same sky, almost indistinguishable because of the pall of smoke. By the time I made it up and back the MRI was all over.

On the way back it was dark, and a big cat ran across the road right into our headlights about five feet in front. We hit the cat hard enough I knew it was dead. We stopped while my wife regained her composure and circled back around to the cat. She stopped and got a tray out of the trunk, and put the poor cat on it on the side of the road so it would not get flattened.

My wife was devastated, but there was no identification on the cat. We hope the owner could tell somebody cared about their pet.

My wife was driving at or below the speed limit and there was absolutely no way she could have avoided the cat.
