Selective perception.

It's amazing how many train crashes there are after a major train crash.  Or bus crashes.

I have to assume these are going on all the time, they just don't make it to the front page of the news until after a major disaster.

At the beginning of summer, I told Linda I was going to show her every time there was a motorcycle crash on the front page of the KTVZ news.  I've been amazed how many times that has happened.

Speaking of which, 7 out of the top 11 stories yesterday morning were about fires.  Fire season, indeed.

So -- I know this is all selective perception, both on my part and on the part of the media.

Still, it makes one wonder.
