Thank Goodness the Bicycle Still Runs Smooth

APRS/GPS breadcrumb track
As far as I can tell, nothing broke or fell off the bike today.  Which is a wunnerful thing.
Had a couple of interesting conversations with hams while bicycle-commuting this morning:  One with KB3DOR who was also running APRS from his 18-wheeler ( KB3DOR-14) and another who was visiting from out of state and just got interested in talking to someone nutty enough to be riding a bike and yakking on the radio.
There's a big trial currently on the docket locally for a crazy-girl driver who skidded off the main road, crossed several yards of dirt and concrete, and banged and killed a cyclist who was ON THE BIKE PATH, thinking he was safe from cars.  What is unusual is that this woman is even being prosecuted for killing a cyclist.  Usually the worst that ever happens to a car driver who hurts or kills a cyclist is a minor traffic citation.  Hitting a cyclist is considered not much more serious than hitting a rabbit  or skunk in the road.  It's the same all over the USA  BAH
It would be wonderful if this woman or SOMEONE guilty of similar offenses  could actually be convicted and spend some jail time for it.  It might help other motorists realize there just might be  consequences associated with killing pedestrians and cyclists.  Motorcycle drivers have similar problems and complaints.  "I didn't SEE him" is considered a valid defense for the accidental (or otherwise) killing of someone on 2 wheels.
Jacque talked to the auto shop holding her Exploder hostage today.  They think they may have it ready by tomorrow.  That would be wunnerful too.  Filling a 30 gallon RV tank with gasoline over 3 bucks a gallon is not for the faint of heart..... or pocketbook.  Plus I'm just beating the poor monster to pieces bouncing up and down our terrible last mile and driveway every day.  This is another time I really regret not living closer to work... loss of one gas guzzler would not be a big thing if I could just ride the bike to work and back BOTH WAYS every day.
