7/02/2008 - Bike Ride Disaster

I decided, in an unanticipated whim, to ride my bike to the bus stop this morning. As I was flying down a steep hill near my house, I started turning with the left-hand curve of the road. I did not notice until it was too late that the road was covered with a fine coating of dirt and gravel. I could not lean into the turn enough to turn and had to move in toward the curb. I slowed down and tried to run out of the crash and was not able to and rolled and flipped. It was fun and I was not hurt, but did put my hand down and collected about 30+ goat heads in it.

At lunch I was driven over to a pizza place to meet folks from my old job. A man I used to work with, Terry, told me that he has had a headache for about six weeks. My headache has been gone for nine. I am hoping that I did not transfer this headache to him. I told him all the knowledge I could about having chronic headaches and suggested some treatments and doctors.

That night my wife and I were eating dinner at a Chinese restaurant. She handed me my fortune cookie and it read: "Be weary today, you should only be a passenger, do not try and drive anywhere."

My thought was "too little to late!"

I did take the bus to work, was driven to and from lunch by a co-worker, had my wife pick me up after work and after getting the fortune I also had my wife drive home...just in case.
