No News...

Well, since I can't walk and can't drive, I have no new experiences to share. This sucks.

Not a Prius, not even a Hybrid

This post is about the ultimate dumbass. But it was a dumbass in a Dodge Caliber. This bitch took me out on the Bay Bridge on my way to work. I was riding my Moto Guzzi in the fast lane, when this white Caliber started coming into my lane. I grabbed a handful of brakes and skidded, but maintained control. Then she swerved back into her lane. So I went to pass her, and as I was passing, she swerved all the way into my lane, right into me. I went down at about 50 mph. My bike was partially on top of me as I slid down the fast lane. Fortunately, I had on my full face helmet, my ballistic nylon jacket with armor and my leather gloves. But even with this protection, my hand was pinned under the bars and the asphalt wore through my glove and partly through my hand. Ouch. The bike crushed my left leg (it weighs about 500 lbs) and broke my fibula. My first broken bone ever! On the right side, I ended up with a fractured ankle, a fractured toe, and two dislocated toes. So now I can't walk. I can't even use crutches. The only way I can get around right now is by wheelchair.

Thanks a lot, moron!!!

Not a Prius

For once, a dumb ass in a hybrid that was not a Prius, so there is no excuse. Sitting in the right lane of three at a stoplight in San Francisco. I assumed that since there was no turn signal, the dill hole was going straight. But alas, no. Light turns green, I'm ready to go, S.H.D. moves 10 feet and stops, then turns on his turn signal. Dumb ass. Is it really that hard to communicate your intentions by using your signals before you are making a turn? Jeeeez, I thought it was pretty self explanatory. Just goes to show you can never underestimate stupidity. It's running rampant these days I tell ya. Dang.
