Good afternoon
- John Diehl, the person accused of driving the truck involved in a hit-and-run/assault by car incident caught on tape was due in court today.
- Giving kids bicycle helmet safety training increases helmet use. "One month following the program, 92.6 percent of the children who received the additional brain injury intervention reported wearing a helmet on every ride compared to 82.8 percent of those who received the abbreviated session. At three months, 96.2 percent who received the intervention were still wearing their helmets, while the other group dropped to 80 percent."
- Tour de France champion Bradley Wiggins was hit by a car while riding his bike yesterday. He suffered some broken ribs.
Here's hoping Diehl does some time. Doubt it'll happen,but there's always hope.
And I hope a pigeon craps on the head of every Times commenter.

For those of us not in DC, how about a tour of the new L street?

Looks like Diehl rejected the plea offer and it's going to trial.

Some adults need the brain injury training.

I checked the dc courts web site and saw Diehl rejected the plea bargain and he sas he is not guilty. Court date is set for March 4. Do you think there will be a satisfying verdict?
