Interesting Juxtaposition

I really just wanted to use the word juxtaposition in a title. But I was noticing as we drove down the river road and a CRAZY man on a motorcycle kept swerving in front of us and zooming past (can't let a minivan pass you on your cool motorcycle, after all) that he wasn't wearing a helmet. I guess the law in IL allows for this kind of irresponsibility. Then on the other side of us, on the trail next to the bluffs, there were bicyclists. They were very spaced out and not in danger of running onto one another, but they were all wearing helmets. I found this very interesting. There has been a lot of awareness about bicycle safety in the last few years, but I would dare say it's much more dangerous to be going 80 mph on a motorcycle with no helmet!

Who knew! "Juxtaposition" is the last word under the "J"s in my dictionary! (Guess who had to look it up!)
