See that long straight stretch of dirt road? Last "normal" thought I had was, "Nice road... What could possibly go wrong if I build a head of steam and drift through that next bend?" Answer. A high speed wobble which morphed into a thrilling tank slapper breaking both my wrists, 5th thoracic vertebrae, and knocked my ass out. Last thing I saw was my tiny shadow, well aloft from a masterful high-side. Tragically my shadow began to increase in size exponentially as gravity brought it closer to my then squinting eyes.

In a little way gregarious again, marveling at the profound experiences of nearly everyone whom I meet. Its like a whole new clan.
