Il Duce! Ay que tonto!

Ok! Are you paying attention!  Look over here!

Oops! [Saturday] While riding to meet another Freddie, looking down to put his water-bottle back in the cage, Il Duce hits a pothole and goes down hard [Blammo!] {Over the handle-bars}.  3 broken ribs.  [It was dark out, although that's standard m.o. for the goose-stepper Il Duce] It was nothing a little trip to ER and some Morphine and Vicodin couldn’t help [temporarily].  Other than that he’ll be OK as long as he stays away from comedy shows for a while.  It’s a fine way to top off your 50th.

Three weeks ago the mighty Pumbaa also hit the pavé on the Monday ride under similar circumstances: looking back over his shoulder [one hand off the bars] and hits a pine cone.  Blammo!  No broken ribs, although, it hurt so bad,  it was his first thought.

The Moral of this Story:  ALWAYS look far enough ahead before we let any distractions divert our attention if we’re gonna take a hand off the bars or our eyes off the road.

Above All: B’Animuax.
