go boom

Shelley came to my door this morning. We normally meet in the park.

"I wiped out."

"Oh my god, are you OK?"

"Ya. everything is fine. It's slippery in some spots. Wear your rain coat. If you fall, you'll slide instead of fleece hitting the pavement."

I just looked at her grimly.

We spent the morning commute talking about wipeouts and injuries. All la-de-da. And then just before going down a hill, and around a roundabout, my rear wheel slide out under me and down I went.

PS. I always wear a helmet and gloves.
