Your Day

Zhanteimi · 06-04-2017, 10:49 PM

Cycling to work this morning and a woman turned left in her car, crashing into me. She didn't look back or user her turn signal. My bike is partially ****ed up and may actually need to be replaced, since it's a carbon frame. We're going to the dealer today to get it properly checked out. The woman is paying for everything. New bike (if necessary) and new helmet.

I am uninjured, though I was going at such a speed that when my forearm hit her mirror, I broke it off completely. Just a small bruise on my forearm. No cuts.

Glad you're OK.

Linda's half sister and her niece are out here for a weeks vacation. Hooked up with them tonight for the first time in about 10 years. Like putting on an old pair of jeans. Immediately fell right into the same old groove.

at least you get a new bike, right?

Yeah. A nice new $1000 bike. I know it's not top of the line, but it's good enough for me. And a new helmet, of course, since helmets are designed for a single impact only.

Glad you're ok. I thought initially the bolded part meant you broke your forearm off!

Just a flesh wound.

Totally fine. St. Joseph and my guardian angel watch over me. I live a charmed life.

New avatar is cool, Mord.
