While searching the internet, I have found news about skiing. The news is about a 60-year old man that is suing an 8-year old boy and his father, after the boy crashed into him, resulting in an injury to the man’s shoulder.

The news goes like this…

David Pfahler, who was skiing at Beaver Creek last winter, claimed he and his wife filed a lawsuit against Scott Swim for crashing into him. The couple is seeking $75,000 in damages, and will be used to pay for several expenses such as physical therapy and vacation time.
Robert Swimm, the boy’s father, refuted Pfahler’s claim, insisting that he witnessed the incident, and that his son was skiing slowly, and was keeping control,
“It wasn’t a violent collision or anything,” the AP quoted Swimm. “Scott just kind of tapped his ski boots.”
The mother Susan Swimm added that it was impossible for Scott to have caused damage as great as Pfahler was claiming, as Scott weighed 48 pounds, and was going not more than 10 mph.
“Who in the world sues a child?” Susan asked in anger and disbelief. “It just boggles my mind every day.”
The Denver Channel reported that upon collision, Scott apologized to Pfahler and started to ski away. Pfahler then grabbed the boy’s leg, threw curses at him, and then said that he would sue the 8-year old.
The article said that the lawsuit is likely to be dismissed, as Colorado law forbids any person from suing a minor.

It’s some kind of weird news!

The last time I rode on a bike was when I was in my first or second year in UM. I didn’t actually drive the thing but was only sitting at the back while my friend Maizirah drove her bike. Once we were going up First Residential College, near the corner around the studio on block A (is it Block A?) when we bump face to face or rather tyre to bumper with a white Proton Saga. I didn’t know where Maizirah had flown off but in a split seconds I was sprawled on the car’s front hood, tummy down, hands and legs wide apart. Like a very skinny starfish dried on the sand, or like a cicak sunbathing under the hot sun. I cannot remember if I had a helmet on or not but I suffered no injuries and Mai had scraped her knee. The car’s bumper part had fallen off totally. We were two very strong ladies.

During raya recently I rode on a bike again. It was my first time after the 1st College accident and Azman’s first in 7 or 8 years. We even took our baby son too. All three of us without helmets on. But for goodness sake IT WAS SO MUCH FUN!

From my mother’s house we rode around the block, then along the beach, then back to a couple of rounds at the neighborhood before heading home… We even rode pass the Police Station! Pahhh.. no police gonna fine us for not wearing helmets or anthing… This is my kampung ok! Miki is like Samseng Kampung Dusun, wa cakap lu!

Half way through the samseng kampung had fallen asleep in my arms. Must be the cool ocean breeze plus the warm motor smoke. We should do this more often, anytime Miki refuses to go to sleep, we will be going on a Rempik Ride…
