Add Another Near Death Experience to the Biography of my Life...

It's still too recent for me to go in depth on this... and the internet is INCREDIBLY expensive in this weird sort of Mexican restaurant... but I will say that a semi-truck brushed my arm yesterday. No shoulder, nowhere to go, two lane forested "highway", and it brushed my arm quickly followed by it's rear tire which almost took me under.

Moral of the story is: I survived. I'm a road warrior. The semi truck decepticons WILL NOT win this one.

Three days till we ride across the Golden Gate bridge carrying forever burning torches...

New reader here (from a Josh mass-email.) Enjoying the hilariousness, inspirationalness, and neardeathexperienceness.

From a runner to a biker I will quote you my favorite thing that spectators yell during races:

"Keep going!" (ugh.)

Mandy, you really should report the driver to the trucking company and the state police. That's total bullshit.
