Grateful

Goodness, there are a lot of things to be grateful for but foremost on my mind is that Adrian is safe. Adrian rides his bike to/from work and today he called me as he was on his way home to tell me he got hit by a car and that the cops were on their way but that he was okay and he hung up. Ummm, okay. Then ensued a million things going through my head: Is he really okay? Are they taking him to the hospital? Do I need to pick him up? How is the driver of the car? How is the bike? and so on.

A police officer drove him home about an hour later. He is fine. He got a nice scrape on his elbow, but he is currently at an urgent care center to make sure that everything else really is okay. I guess he flipped over the hood of the car and landed on his head and rolled. Boy are we ever glad that he wears a helmet! The bike, though, took the brunt of it and has seen better days. In fact, it's not rideable anymore and until we get a replacement it looks like I'll be driving him to the bus stop in the early mornings (a small price to pay for a healthy husband!).

I don't know if this picture is that good, but you can see the top bar is split and the bottom is cracked. The whole frame is pretty bent as well.

I don't know what it is about us and cops lately, but as helpful as they are I hope to avoid doing things that would bring them around in the near future!!
