The commute today? Not so hot. On Thursdays I meet my wife at the local bakery/coffee shop for breakfast. I always ride through the local college campus. For the uhh, scenery. Anyway, this morning since classes haven't dtarted I took a slightly different route through campus. There are some of those barrier gates for the pay parking lot that I didn't see until it was too late. My last thought was maybe it will break and I won't fall. It broke and I fell, hard. Road rash on the side of my face and my sunglasses dug in to my eye brow so I got several stitches there. Bled like crazy. First person to see me was an RN so she gave me some kleenex to help stop the bleeding. Plus, I missed breakfast.
