Down

Regarding bike accidents my friend Dale said tonight "There's only two types of people. Those who've laid their bike down, and those who're going to." As of about 9am this morning, I now belong to the other type. Both Black Betty and myself are a little worse for wear, but otherwise fine. I am not all gembled up by my accident. I was going no more than the posted speed limit, being cautious, alert, and I was geared to the teeth. No scars for me, and mostly cosmetic damage to Betty. I will end up needing new mirrors...
