Spill

So, I had a bit of a spill today. I was riding my bike down a main street in Berkeley. I had my high visability vest on. A car comes up from behind me and it's side mirror hits me. I fell off my bike. I scraped my elbow, ankle and bruised my side. My bike was ok. The driver had the balls to tell me I hit him and that I had to watch where I was going. I mean, how the hell do you hit someone when you are in front of them? My sister, bless her, came and got me and the bike and brought disinfectent and bandages. I am now writing this while lying on my bed. It just goes to show that motorists still think they rule to road and no one else matters. I certainly wouldn't give up cycling, but will think about the routes I take. I am fine, and luckily I didn't have to go to the hospital. I don't have health insurance yet, and I just saw Sicko. It was actually the first thought on my mind.

Other than that, things are great. The weather is hot. And it is labor day weekend plus my father's birthday tomorrow, so plenty of celebrations. I do hope everyone else is well.
