I heard from Cameron several times this weekend. It was Little 500 and I enjoyed hearing his thoughts on the famed bike race. He found the competition interesting and talked about the wrecks that occurred. There was one that left a rider stranded across the field from his teammates, costing his team precious laps. One item that Cameron wasn't impressed with was the drunk parents in front of him, but knew that came with the territory. He wasn't sure if he would go again next year, but was glad that he witnessed the race in person especially after watching Breaking Away.
There was one text from Cameron that caused concerned. There was a shooting Friday night near the stadium. Thankfully, he was safe in his dorm, but this was the third year in a row that someone had been shot during Little 5 weekend. Fortunately, no one was killed. We had the same thing happen when Doug was a senior at IU with a more tragic outcome during that shooting. Although all of these seem to be isolated circumstances, it is a pattern that I hope does not continue. I would hate for the tradition to end because of unsafe behavior by others.
