good news, bad news

thanks martin, its kind of a complicated story i know but I wasnt weaving through lanes, i was traveling straight, parallel to and between rail lines at street level, the car lane continued straight and the rail line curved under me to the left. i am splitting hairs here only because i am trying to determine what i could have done differently.....

i was highly surprised when i moved here that the train cars are traveling in the same lanes as street traffic, and i have been hearing all about how treacherous they are with local cyclists

just gonna have to detour and avoid like the plague!

oh and leo

i actually hate taking painkillers, they fuck with my stomach and usually i have bad experiences, plus i just dont like the feeling i guess, much rather use natural medicines, i have just a handful to get me through the next couple days, last time this kind of thing happened i flushed about half that they gave me!

..... i flushed about half that they gave me!

You flushed them!?!?

That made me think of this:

HYMN # 365

A church minister was completing a temperance sermon. With great emphasis he said, 'If I had all the beeeeeerrrr!!!!!!!! in the world, I'd take it and pour it into the river.'

With even greater emphasis he said, 'And if I had All the wine in the world, I'd take it and pour it into the river.'

And then finally, shaking his fist in the air, he Said, 'And if I had all the whiskey in the world, I'd take it and pour it into the river.'

Sermon complete, he sat down..

The song leader stood very cautiously and announced With a smile, nearly laughing, 'For our closing song, Let us sing Hymn #365, 'Shall We Gather at the River.'

Laughter is the best medicine. Get well soon!

No you misunderstand me- it's the construction practice I'm saying is at fault. If the rails meander across lanes that is very dangerous. You are riding straight and then through no fault of your own you are crossing a rail at a very oblique angle. Bad situation right there. I think I would lodge a complaint with the city.

[eniam rognab]

you are right i reread what you wrote

i am all loopy now im sorry, thanks for being in my corner, i had considered maybe some legal counsel on this matter, especially since it seems to be occurring frequently in these parts

thank you to everybody for giving your views on these matters and congratulating my new position. i really appreciate all of you

Never a good idea to be on two wheels (or four, for that matter) during the first good storm for months - - all the accumulated grease and grime on the streets gets whipped up into a slippery film and spreads all over the road.

Congrats on the job.

Ouch! Let's hope the recovery goes smoother than the injury.. stunt monkey.

im learning all kinds of stuff today!

like: stairs, getting off the toilet seat, moving a glass of water across a room

my whole body hurts, im afraid to go to sleep...

Sleeping's fine - it's when you wake up that the real shit happens.
Be well, heal soon & look after yourself.

I missed what bike you had. If it's a Harley with fuel injection they do that when you lay them down. You have to turn the ignition off/on/off and wait about 30 seconds before starting. I don't know why and I won't tell you how I know.

I lived in Breckenridge for a couple of years back in 1981-1983. A single guy in a ski town, with a real job! Back before it went so mondo condo. Good memories.

Hope you heal quickly, and congrats on the employment.
