Harry...please pass along to all...
Hola gang,
Well El Presidente is back from vacation.......well sort of......it
seems that a deer and I had a argument about who should be ON the road and
who should not. Guess who one that argument.......ME...well sort of.
On the way back from South Dakota bike trip I hit a deer at 9 p.m.
Friday evening on I72 near mile marker 24. I am ok but Bambi bit the big
one.
I have 11 stitches above my left eye..a couple cracked ribs a stitch or
two on my left elbow and a deep thigh bruise above my left knee. And real
sore everywhere else.
I am a lucky boy. And yes Wally...I had a helmet on which saved my
life.
That and the ability to fly...which I did for a short time til gravity
took over.
A fellow Rotarian helped me at the scene via the Barry Fire Department,
Chris Little. Chris will tell you I'm lucky also. And I want Chris to know
I appreciate everything the Barry Fire & Rescue and YOU did for me at the
scene. It was good to see your face though you can't say the same about my
face at the time can ya.
Just wanted you all to know the truth...NO I did'nt have 50 plus
stitches......NO I was not admitted to Illini (but received the very best
care in ER by everyone there then went home) YES I had a helmet
on......and NO...they didn't have to stitch my mouth shut as some folks
had hoped.....
I am back working VERY short days but will be unable to attend Rotary
THIS week as I do look a bit like a very sore Frankenstein I've gotten a
hold of Debbie and she will fill this week. But I WILL be back week after
next. And for that..I thank God...and my wolf spirit (will explain
sometime if you ask me on that one).
Until then....keep your tires on the road and a helmet ON YOUR HEAD.
Love you all
El Presidente
By the way.......South Dakota was BEAUTIFUL and I will go back....ON A
BIKE....just the last few miles of the trip sucked.
Take care all
