Well the Moon is Broken and the Sky is Cracked  
Just in case you were sitting around feeling sorry for yourself, here are pieces of news that kicked me in the ass and made me count my blessings.

On Monday night Jeff Wilson aka CrackBass was struck by a possibly drunk motorist after leaving a Black Crowes concert at the Backyard in Austin. The Austin American Statesman picked up the story here and here. As far as I know at this time Jeff is in critical condition.

This is a topic that has come up before, but the Statesman found Jeff's blog and built an article around it. For better or worse, blog content is the modern equivalent of wearing clean underwear. I know that sounds flip, but I don't mean it to come off in a humorous way. It's just the way it is.

I know Jeff only through the blogging community, where he's part of the family at the League of Melbotis. My prayers go out to Jeff and everyone injured for a speedy recovery.

And on another tangent which made me weepy for a slightly different reason, read this letter over at the Dewey Donation System. It's the end that gets you. Damn.

Gratitude, people. Love each other and stay safe.

*Updated to add that Austinist also wrote about the accident. And the driver was not possibly drunk, she was definitely drunk.
