hope you're mending well, both mentally and physically. i was hanging on your every word.

when i had my 'major mishap' 2 years ago, i slid through a slick intersection, and right under a cable t.v. truck that had blown through the 4 way stop and didn't see me. i am laying at the rear wheelwell of this van, still clipped in to my ride (i slid into 2nd about 20 yards) thinking two things:
-please don't drive or back up
-geez, i hope my bike's ok.

i blew out both tires. just then 2 dogs came out of nowhere and started barking and being really aggressive to me. people were shooing away the dogs so i could catch my breath.

it certainly pales in comparison to your adventure. i'm glad our crazy uncla stu is ok.
