We 5/29/19- Bike/ Car Accident at Fairway
We 5/29/19
Up 630am; rain last night and more expected late this afternoon; to mid 80's.
Entered the Product Code for the new PC with no problem. However, I couldn't get the Windows Media Player to play the Netflix disc:
1) Put the disc in the PC. Uses VLC media player pinned to Start Menu
2) Open 'This PC' on the Windows
3) It will display a player
Watched Netflix disc, 'WE DON'T BELONG HERE' Catherine Keener and Elvis Presley's granddaughter. Dysfunctional family- 4 kids; 2 bipolar girls (one is a pop star), 1 gay son, and 1 'normal' girl. Too Art House, and the ending made no sense- they're all waiting for a sailboat? Why?
Then watched 'DEUCES WILD' (Amazon Prime- this will be dropped on 5/31, so I'll check it out) Rival gangs, The Deuces and The Vipers, duke it out on the mean streets of Brooklyn, 1958; Stephen Dorff/ Brad Renfro/ Matt Dillon/ Debbie Harry/ James Franco
110pm: bike to FitClub West
45" Octane (The Who). 45" Walk (Reality TV all workout). 45" Cross. 30" Walk. 30" Cross.
BIKE/ CAR ACCIDENT at Fairway/ Monroe; just after 5pm.
Coming home from Fit Club West I got to the light at the LRS? building and headed east on Monroe along the north side of the street. East and West no cars on Monroe, but there was a car pulling out of Fairway making a left hand turn on Monroe (West). I biked across Monroe and I was trying to go behind (West) of his turn so that he could turn in front of me. HE DIDN'T SEE ME, and almost collided head on, but he swerved at the last minute. I was knocked off the bike and totally freaked. I knew I was not seriously injured, but I was practically in shock. The kid (Black, about 22 yrs. old- Matt?) was apologizing profusely. A cop went by going west on Monroe and the kid flagged him down. He pulled over and asked what happened and I let the kid do the talking. He said I was going East on Monroe and he hit me when he pulled out. This was true, but I was actually going East on the other side of the street. This might have gotten me a ticket, or I don't know what. So I just let that slide. The cop asked for ID's and I gave him the photo of my driver's license. He actually said, 'This is perfect'. I don't even think that the kid had his driver's license on him. The cop said he would write it up. He asked me at least twice if I wanted an ambulance.
I checked the bike but I was so shook I didn't realize that the back tire was actually bent. This didn't register until I was almost to Kenyon. I'll take it to Biketek and maybe it can be straitened or I'll get a new one. The kid seemed like a good guy and I didn't want to get him into any big trouble.
I was bleeding on my right lower leg. The pedal probably scraped the skin, and I bleed very easily. No pain. However, when I was getting in the tube almost two hours later I noticed that I have a pretty big knot on my left thigh right over the hip bone. This is where I hit the street. No pain whatsoever.
Read downstairs for about an hour and started a new novel while listening to African pop.
As I was running the bath water I called a 618 number that had called earlier today. It was Comcast/ Xfinity, and I told the clerk that I was returning their call. I thought that they had just been trying to get me to 'increase my plan', but they said that they were calling to see if my 'internet problem' was resolved. I said that my internet was running fine, and I didn't call in any problems. I mentioned that I had run a 'speed test', and she said that this was noted, and they thought that I was checking the speed because I was experiencing problems. Interesting that they are so concerned, but I'm a little creeped out that they knew that I was on the Speed Test Site. Big Fucking Brother Is Watching.
Then in the tub for more Lisa Gardner and listened to Sonny Sharrock
Downstairs for an hour documentary about Parliament Funkadelic on Amazon Prime. It is presented that George Clinton ripped off everyone in the band. He never tells his tale, but it's looking bad for George. Then, an English bio of Bob Dylan called, 'BOB DYLAN: TALES FROM THE GOLDEN AGE'.
