On To Connecticut

All's well and I'm squiggling my way up to my next state capitol building in Connecticut.

Today was uneventful except for two things.

First, I almost started the day with a really bad taste in my mouth...literally. Note to self: the next time you buy athletes foot cream, make sure it's not in a tube like toothpaste 🤦. Luckily, I caught my mistake just as I was about to squeeze it on to my toothbrush 🤢. Too close though. Waaaay too close. 🤣

Second, as you may know, I use ear plugs, listen to music, and always wear a full-faced modular helmet while I ride. Despite that, as I was entering Guthrie KY on Highway 79, I heard a thud. I knew it wasn't from my bike, so I continued. Seconds later, as I crested the hill, I found out what the thud was: a really bad two-car accident at the crossroads (here: https://maps.app.goo.gl/ZhuQtHraK3zFtHqo9)
Pickup vs. SUV, the offset front end collision. Both vehicles destroyed. Each driver was an adult male and they were just stumbling out of their cars. Other people who had seen it happen were just getting out of the their cars, too. One was calling 911. One was checking on one driver. I went to the other driver rolling on the ground (in the glass from his windshield) holding his stomach. No blood, no bones sticking out, nothing I and my little first aid kit could do. The lady on with 911 came over to try to tell the dispatcher his symptoms, so I started directing traffic. I kept that up until all the emergency folks arrived and shut down the road completely. The Fire Chief thanked me and I rolled on. Only took about 30 minutes. But I'm really glad I didn't have to see a dead body today. Be safe out there 😘.

Hope to see you on the road! Remember, NO WHINING! ✌️
