I was just about to once again thank my fellow Florida drivers for going 12 months without running into me when yesterday morning, sitting in traffic on Glades Road in Boca, I was rear-ended. No injuries, and the offending car got the worst of it, but I will still have to take my Honda to the body shop, get a rental car, deal with insurance. Three times this decade I have been hit from behind - once while parked and sitting in a bar. But I am thankful no one has hit me on my bike.
And I am thankful for everyone who's been reading me here. I wish you all a richly interesting and gratifying new year.
(I'll be back on Jan 10th, with tales of the North.)
