The call of shame


Further

Recommended Posts

I didn't make the call.

Had been working 10 hour days, in a hot (120+) environment.

Was commuting 12 miles each way.

So I'm a couple miles from home, hanging off the handlebars, taking a little break don't ya know.

Guy in a pickup stops and asks me if I'm OK. I tell him sure I'm good. He looks at me real concerned, asks where I'm headed. I tell him just up the road.

I honestly don't remember the details, but the guy dropped me and my bike off at my house.

That must have been the same guy that was trying to take me to the hospital after I hit the three deer. He had a pickup and was determined to help. I refused to let him be the good Samaritan, I knew my wife was coming for me.

How were the deer?

I never even got a taste to find out, when I came to they were gone. Living where I do they either got up and ran away after I was out or someone came by and picked them up off the road and took them home before the meat went bad. When I came around I was the only one lying in the middle of the road.

Fellow I know from North Carolina was cycling across northern Montana and had a flat. It was getting late and someone offered him a ride.  He refused, and then the mosquitoes that frequent the area around the Milk River came out with a vengeance.  He thought often during the next hour about the ride he refused.:whistle: Same fellow talked down a mad trucker, while holding nothing but his pump. He was a big guy, and told the trucker that he might have a problem explaining to his friends that he was bruised by a fellow wearing tight shorts and riding a bicycle.  The trucker shook his head and left.:)
