On October 6th, I was riding home from work on my bike and got my rear wheel clipped by a car who pulled out without looking my way.  Luckily, I didn't so much as get even a scratch.  The rear wheel got hit hard enough to warp it beyond repair.  The driver kept on going!  <sarcasm on> Gotta love Memphis drivers. </sarcasm off> So I got the bike back from the shop on Oct. 18 (nasty ride home in the cold rain).  It was so cold on Wednesday (Oct. 19) that I didn't bother to commute with it.  Then Thursday (Oct. 20), I had everything ready and as I'm walking out the door I notice I've got a flat!!!!!  The good news....I rode the bike on Friday and it was a great ride.  I've been doing a lot of bike riding the past couple of days (just short little rides, but riding) and loving it in the current fall weather.

The bad news is that Buddy is sick. He has diarrhea and is really feeling bad. I got him to drink a little water, but he doesn't want to eat anything. I'm hoping it will resolve itself quickly.
