     Heh, well, I'm glad you're ok. The girl was ok?

      Never had a crash in any car myself so far, (touch wood), but had 
*many* on motorbikes, (shouldn't be here really).

This happened years ago. But yeah, nobody was seriously hurt - although 
there were several insurance claims to the contrary...

I've yet to meet a biker who hasn't spent at least a few days in a coma.

...not a good sign, eh? o_O

Only a minute or 2. Dallas is pretty easy to spot from an areal map, and 
I know the layout of the roads so I pretty much just zoomed in right on it.
