This morning my soccer team held our first outdoor practice with our season opener only two weeks away.  Unfortunately, one of my teammates caught an errant elbow (not mine) which broke his nose.  I took him to the hospital where they fixed him up.  I am guessing he is going to have two black eyes in the morning and a wife standing in the way of his taking the field with us for our first match.  He was bleeding profusely after the injury but it was only a small fraction of the blood I saw later in the day.  Jeanine and I took a 3.5-mile walk on the Lexington section of the Minuteman Commuter Bikeway.  There we encountered several police vehicles, firetrucks, and a taped-off section of the trail.  Apparently, two bikes traveling in the opposite direction collided at very high speed.  There was a VERY large pool of blood on the bike path, two mangled bicycles, and one helmet on the ground.  One of the riders died and the other sustained serious injuries.
