Punched in the Face
Today I was punched in the face. Over the last 24 years there have been many times that I would not have been surprised to receive a punch (and maybe a few times where I actually deserved it), but I was not expecting one today.
It all started when I decided to load my bike up and drive across town to hit up some MTB trails. I was cruising along with a coffee and scone stop in mind when a gangsta'd out Buick cut through traffic like a maniac, eventually flying into the left hand turn lane, cutting off a bunch of cars. I raised my hand and gave him a little scowl as I drove by. My gesture was quickly returned by a very angry looking double bird. I didn't think too much of it until about 1 minute later when I saw the same Buick flying down the center lane of the road. He pulled ahead of me and then swerved to a stop, blocking both lanes of southbound traffic and forcing me to lock up my brakes to avoid hitting him. He quickly jumped out of his car and ran up to my window, spouting out a lot of four letter words and asking if I wanted to "start shit". I said "no" which I guess was the wrong answer because he leaned into my window and threw two quick sucker punches. The first one got me squarely in the nose but the next one just glanced off my cheek. Before I really even knew what had happened he was hopping back to his car with gangster like gestures saying "what's up now!?" He then peeled off back in the opposite direction.
Maybe I should have said "yes, I would like to start shit" and started
a situation like this. I have been doing my pushups lately...

After he was gone I pulled to the side of the road to take care of my bloody nose and figure out what had just happened. A nice old man who had seen the whole thing stopped and offered up one of those instant ice packs for my cheek and recommended that I call the police. Once I regained my bearings I made a quick report (unfortunately with no license plate number) and continued on my way. After all these years of not being punched it was kind of nice to get it out of the way. It's good to know that I can actually take a punch and I think a good solid adrenaline rush was the perfect way to start my ride. That being said, I wont' be bummed if it's another 24 years (or more) before my next one.

went out for a ride w/ selden today...we started from the new bakery off reserve.
rolling pretty fast and there were a bunch of larger rocks that we would hit and slingshot...every minute
one of my projectiles hit a newer car driven by and older couple, it was loud as hell...they kept looking in the rear view mirror trying to figurre out what happened.
i kept thinking to myself that i was glad that it wasnt a mint 'paint job' muscle car or a truck dood
glad your well

This was the premiere launch of the scratch proof U-boat replica that the world has ever seen. Then came the model called replica Jaquet droz . The fusion between the bracelet and Piaget replica watches was so perfect that both appeared to be a singe unit. These became immensely popular and the replica Oris industry smelled the opportunity.
These two Rolex Submariner watches were a roaring success. They are called DeWitt replica watches and R Rolex Sea Dweller replica . Of course, these Ferrari replica watches had a tilt towards heart of the fashion conscious men and women. So the fashion conscious women lapped up these replica Omega watches avidly. there is an affordable alternative in the form of Breitling watches .The replica Rolex watches are a matter of gold, diamond and other novel materials.
