Cat-Like reflexes

On my ride i dodged two oblivious cars intent on mowing me down and one mallard duck.

There were two on the MUP, my girlfriend spooked them and let out a welp as they took off.

I dodged right just in time. I could feel his wings on my cheek. He would have hit me directly in the face.

All of these epic near misses and once i'm in the safety of my house my gf drops a heavy ass bottle of shampoo right on the little toe during a post-ride shower.

That's what i get for letting my guard down. All things considered it could have been far worse.

Cat-like reflexes, but two oblivious cars and one duck will reduce your 9 lives to 6.
