Im too old to go over the handle bars of my bike

So this morning I was riding back from town and I had a stiff neck so I was cruising sitting up without holding onto the handlebars. I discovered that that is a fine plan as long as your right foot does not slip off the pedal. Once my foot struck ground my handlebars were already cocked sideways before my hands could get to them. The begininnig of the next scene was like something from Cirque de soleil. Following a very quick blow to the gut from I forget what, I stuck my landing with precision on my right elbow with feet in the air so as to keep the forehead from hitting first. I then rolled onto my bike wich is odd because I had just left the bike. Struggling to figure out what hurt the most I calmly gathered the four pieces of my phone while laying on my back in the road. I do know that no one saw me because if they had I would have heard sirens. I quickly walked along dragging my bike to my open garage and shut the garage. Luckily I am fine except for the bruises and scrapes. My neck still is stiff.

Victoria, BC

Andrew onboard our ferry the "Coho" from Port Angeles to Victoria. They pack in 120+ cars, motor homes, Semi Trucks and motorcyles. In fact the cars are packed in so tight, I broke my moms fingers when I slammed them in the door of the suburban when I was a little older than Andrew on this same ferry boat.

Butchart Gardens north of Victoria. Darrin Grandpa and Grandma and I went here when we were little. You don't have to be into flowers to appreciate this place. It is mind boggling.

The price of gas was so low I had to take a picture. Donnie and I smartly filled up before we left Canada. We could not figure out why the dollar numbers were spinning so fast on the gas pump as we were filling up. It turns out that its 101.9 per liter! We had a good laugh.

High Tea at the Empress Hotel in Victoria. I suppose you can do this once in your life.

Notice the poise and form employed by Don. Actually I think his finger is stuck.

The boys were groaning until the first course.

With strawberries and cream first their attitudes began to change.
