Thanks, Bill! I have some of these in my yard, so I knew this is not a palm tree..

Thank you Scott and Karen. It has been a trial…slow to heal and painful. But I can still ride, so we carry on with shorter days. All in all, it could have been worse.

You could be right. You’d have to really love dried plums.

Is this one of those “deals”, if you guess how many in the bowl you win ?

It's such a relief to see how well Mary Ellen appears to be doing. I was really concerned for her after her fall.

Hoping one of your first stops today is a bike shop for a new helmet.

Ouch - that one looks like it hurt! You might need to take it easy for a few days. Sometimes the next morning is the worst. Hope you heal quickly!!

Lucky ME was still wearing her helmet. We absolutely concur with Bill's advice to replace the helmet asap. Once they take a hit they are done, and should be ditched for a new one.

Take any good excuse you can! Frankly, we would never touch the stuff, good reason or none.

It’s remarkable that you made it there at all but that fall is so scary! Hopefully you’ll wake up tomorrow and everything will be well. Good luck.

Cringed with that one. Hope you recover quickly. Guessing that bruised leg will be a pain for a while.

One more shout out for bike helmets! Be sure to replace it, even if it looks ok. There may be undetectable cracks that would reduce its protection.
