These close calls are getting old.

Tue Nov 10, 2009, 8:14 PM

It has been TWICE now in LESS THAN HALF A MONTH that I've come close to death/serious injury.

The first time, earlier this month, was pneumonia. I nearly died because I couldn't breathe. I'm better now.

Then, tonight, I got into an accident. My scooter hit a slick spot on the road in the middle of a rain storm at 40mph. I went over and slid a good 30 ft or so. Unhurt, due to wearing ridiculously heavy clothes(czech military issue pants and a 1950's era italian army jacket, both are heavy canvas) and a helmet, but my scooter's trashed and I'll have to fix it tomorrow.

...yes, I ride a motorscooter. If you laugh, I'll kill you while reminding you cheerfully that I get 100mpg on it and filling the tank costs only 2$ and lasts me forever.

It's true, too. People assume that Asians are fired from the womb with at least 40 grandfather's worth of acenstral nunchuck knowledge. Bizarre shit. - ~Ithiel

Nah, just gonna fix what I've got. It's still running(ran well enough to get me home). Just beat up real bad. I don't think it's possible to kill it.

I see, well that should be a good time killer if you ever needed one. Fixing it up, that is.

I didn't go to the hospital when I had it, simply because I was too sick to get up to get to the phone to call my mom to drive me there. I just sort of sat propped up in my chair til I got better.
