But you're right. I think we of the Boomer generation may be the last with grandparents born in the 19th Century.

Looks like my elbow and left hood took most of fall. Knocked my left hood a little crooked and my elbow and hand are starting to hurt. Destroyed my toe covers not that they were really working anyways. Somehow my chain got knocked into my wheel. I was worried the hanger was bent but shifting seems to be ok.
Only other thing that i have noticed so far is my front brake is rubbing and sporadically. I took the wheel off and checked to make sure everything was tight and put it back on. I thought it was good and then randomly it started rubbing. This was on my bike stand and without me touching anything but spinning the wheel.
Just picked up new shoes and booties.

So... chapeau!

I just took the neighbor gal to the e room, because her dogs were fighting and she somehow broke a finger separating them. I was hoping it was dislocated, but talking to her on the way home after it wasn't shock talking, it sounded like the middle finger was bent across her other fingers at a 90 degree angle. I did that once, and I'll never get that image out of my head. I'm sure the guy that watched me straighten it back out, won't either.

But what the hell, he's got a girl moving in with him. Never saw that coming.
