    I remember thinking, gee, going for a bike ride on fri the 13... but
    of course that's just SILLY. And the weather has been so [censored]
    lately and it finally wasn't raining today and as usual, it's going to
    rain this weekend.

    So after the ride, with my friend, we're like two blocks from my
    house, rambling along and then suddenly... BLAT! It was just one of
    those totally flukey falls. I just looked down and thought my wheel
    was a bit close to his back wheel, and I probably said, S***! and
    maneuvred away.But he went in the same direction, left, and I thought
    " I just don't want our wheels to get tangled and collide and fall on
    each other!"

    " Anyways, I fell on the fleshiest part of my butt cheek, which is now
    covered with garden variety road rash, which will turn into a hug
    bruise of course, and a big lump on my right shin. I was wearing
    knickers and long sleeves because it was cool, so no skin loss. One
    of my shifters is a bit crooked, no big deal.

    I got through the hairiest intersections,missed all the big potholes-
    I crash two blocks from home. Sigh... it was just so STOOPID! ! I
    knew I shouldn't have gone for a ride on friday the 13. Or I should
    have taken some lucky charm with me!

    Were there any fat goober LotR re-enactors watching you and laughing??

    Hahah... no, thank god, and no roadies to see how stupid i looked. But
    two guys who were standing and talking on the sidewalk asked if I was
    okay and if I needed to come sit down on their porch.

    Gee, maybe god is getting me for criticizing LOTR and goobers!
