| Hi Everyone!
Thanks for the kind messaes. The police were called by the driver of the truck. I'm sure that the town will pay for all the repairs, particularly considering that I could sue the bejesus out of them. However, my goal is simply to be "made whole" -- fix the bike and cover my expenses.
It could have been a lot worse. The strange thing is that I have my regularly scheduled visit with my primary care Nurse-Practitioner from the VA tomorrow, so I will get a professional evaluation of the finger cuts. The funny part was that the EMT's said that they would need sutures, but there isn't any skin left to suture -- OUCH!
With any luck I'll be back out on the road tomorrow either on my single or on our old (read heavier and slower) tandem. Much depends on how my fingers feel as they are pretty sore right now.
