Early Saturday morning, my friend Amacker and very good friend of the original MOB moderator (Ms. Crankypants) was in a motorcycle crash near her house.
She was taken to Stanford Hospital with many serious injuries. A friend pointed me to a blog set up by her brother.

The good news is she's alive and slowly recovering from several injuries, any one of which could have killed her. Her father and brother are on the scene but she's in intensive care and is being kept asleep, so no visitors for a while.
So please send her good vibes, etc.
