The Wreck

I don't have a picture but I still have to write a quick post about this. Rob had a wreck this week on his bike. He is ok, the bike is ok, but there is almost always a little drama surrounding the bike.

Apparently, as Rob drove to school listening to his ipod......ok, this is probably a bad idea becasue you can't hear the honking and other cars around you........a car turned right into him. He jumped/fell off his bike. Thankfully just injuring his finger. I couldn't help but think how thankful I was that Hannah and Hudson were not on the bike with him. At the same time, the thought of Rob on his cute little bike with the basket on the front, always makes me laugh. I was truly glad he was ok.

Now he wants a new bike. Bigger battery, which means FASTER. He plans to give me the one he drives now. I have to tell you, I drove to pay a bill one day, and I was a nervous wreck by the time I got home. The traffic flow and rules are so different than what I am used to.....and I am riding unprotected, no car around me. So, for now....I will stick to bus 33. We are friends, I know where he goes, how long it takes for him to get me there, and I can safely study, listen to music, or have a conversation while riding.

I assume that God had to create a whole new legion of angels for this assignment, Rob. Hope you do not use them up too early in the assignment. You be careful out there son! Use that head he gave you for something besides a place to hang your earphones. Glad to hear you are ok. Love Mother

I've "read" that when there's an accident, all the bystanders gather around and discuss it to see who was at fault and if someone needs to pay. Did that happen to you?

Glad to hear you're OK and make sure you listen to your Mom!!!

Let the record show that my wife was not present at the time and place of the accident and it really was not a big deal at all. There was no damage to person or property of both parties involved. A man jumped out of the car immediately and was very apologetic. I hopped up, picked up my bike, told him in my best Asianese, “Don’t worry about it.” Then I rode off. No big deal. Although, my phone has been ringing constantly since then with Asianese lawyers trying to get me to have my day in court. (just kidding) -- Rob
