This week Danny got hit while riding his bike on his lunch hour by a fat drunkard driving a PT Cruiser. He had to be life flighted to Shands Hospital in Jacksonville with possible head injuries.
THE GUY KEPT ON DRIVING!
Luckily, someone chased him down. Danny is at home now, recovering. No head injuries, but stitches, staples, and road rash deluxe.
My loathing for PT Cruisers and Cadillacs grows.
So maybe it was a good thing that the tech at the bike shop forgot to put a crucial part on my cassette this week, and I didn't find out until I got up early today, packed all the biking gear in the car (let me tell you, biking is much more complicated, equipment-wise, than glorious surfing). So, I drove over to Sean's and found out I had to miss the ride today. I like to think it was all to save me from something like crashing right before my Costa Rica trip. But, that's "magical thinking," like Sean says. SO WHAT! I BELIEVE IN MAGICAL THINKING.
Along with this new forecast:
COASTAL WEATHER SYNOPSIS (Issued 7am 6/19/10):
The duldroms are here to stay through the weekend, followed by significant improvement starting Monday, extending through midweek when lowering pressure in the northeastern Caribbean Sea combines with a strengthening Bermuda high pressure ridge to produce an extended period of deep/lengthy east-southeasterly fetch over the southwestern Atlantic.
Red Alert: Google a band called FREELANCE WHALES and listen to "Generator 2nd Floor," and tell me these guys are not contenders for best new music this year.
