Peanut gallery Will: Why did I
carry this?

Thanks to everyone who called to check on me.  Going over the handle bars is not something I would recommend. I  have a left (AC) shoulder separation strained neck and back muscles.  I also suffered some facial injuries which consist of a big contusion below and around my left eye.   Thank GOD I was wearing my helmet; it saved my life.  I landed right on top of my head and left shoulder, shattering my glasses.  It will be some time before I am back.  I have a follow up visit with general practitioner in a couple of days to see how my progress is.  The bike faired much better than I did.
