Well, I went down on my bike. Broke my left arm near the shoulder joint. Ouch. It hurts. While making turn, I rode right into an oil spill that some asshole dumped in the road. It covered the whole lane. I was screwed before I even knew it.

I’m basically home bound until Friday when I go back for x-rays again. I have to be good our I get surgery to install a plate in my arm. That ain’t fuckin happening if I can help it.

My bike is broke too. $18,000 to repair it. Thankfully it’s well insured. I should have to pay $125 deductible total. They even want pictures of my clothes that I was wearing and will replace it all if scuffed up.

“We have not yet experienced a global thermonuclear war — although on more than one occasion we have come tremulously close. I do not think our luck can hold forever. Men and machines are fallible, as recent events remind us. Fools and madmen do exist, and sometimes rise to power. Concentrating always on the near future, we have ignored the long-term consequences of our actions. We have placed our civilization and our species in jeopardy. Fortunately, it is not yet too late. We can safeguard the planetary civilization and the human family if we so choose. There is no more important or more urgent issue.”
