I think I just saw someone jump off the Golden Gate Bridge.
It was late, I was going 50 miles per hour, and the fog was heavy, but there was a lone figure standing out in the freezing wind, leaning heavy over the railing. Not a common sight at 10pm.
Ever since I moved up here, I figured that statistically it was only a matter of time before this became part of my experience.
On average, one person per week chooses to end their life in this way. The Chronicle did a fascinating series on it last year.

I wonder how many more times I'll have to see this happen.
