Ladies and gentleman, that is a boom truck. No doubt you've seen these monsters lurking around construction trucks, their multi-ton cranes lifting high into the sky.

 At ten thirty this last Thursday morning as I was riding my over-sized pink bicycle, looking for work, one collided into my right side.

 And yes, I'm still alive. I will heal with (hopefully, as long as I'm careful) no lasting damage.

I could easily have died. I had a concussion, have broken bones. The bike is totaled. But I'm okay.

 Be grateful for life today. After all, there are boom trucks everywhere.

My Comments From: Natasha 13 Aug 2008, 6:35 pm I still shudder thinking about that Mors...And I'm still in shock..And unable to think of what to say. Still once again, I am sooo sorry this happened to you. I'm soo glad that you made it out of this...But alas you already know all of that since I talked to you on MSN.. From: Mors 12 Aug 2008, 2:55 pm Ha ha, Ceri.  Yeah, Bella Domina. And the broken bones aren't so bad. I mean, just taking ibuprofen today and I'm not that bad off at all. I don't feel like I was hit by a truck. Maybe just a really big guy. Yeah, that must be it. I was hit by the boom truck driver, not the actual truck.
