44°, flat tire then Bus accident

Good, but slightly warm from having to sprint the 4 miles to make the bus. The reason I was late is that I had a nail embeded in the rear tire, & in the process of changing the tube I either found or made a pinch flat in my spare, so I had to patch the spare to be able to use it.

And this afternoon on the way home from work, my bike was in another bus accident on the highway, almost 6 months to the day (tomorrow would have been six months exactly). I am fine, just sore, and it looks like my bike did not sustain damage this time. But it was scary, it was a multiple car pile up, very much like the crash in Taledega Nights, where cars were spinning in 360's in front of our path and the bus swerved, when up on two wheels and then started plowing into the spinning cars, using my bike as the plow.

But I did not start running around screaming about the invisible fire. . . .
