What could possibly go wrong?

Go ahead and laugh, but just wait until the class gets to Beowulf.
I don't anymore. Besides an (unrelated) injury I no longer enjoyed it. Too many distracted drivers and it's only getting worse.
I hit a deer while riding my motorcycle. I saw it crossing the road from my left, tried to evade it, heard the bang of my fairing hit it, and next thing I knew I was lying on my back looking up at the sky. I ended up with a shattered collarbone, broken ribs, and some road rash on my left side. I have absolutely no memory of falling or sliding at all (and I'm okay with that).
The most likely explanation for why I survived was that I was only going 30 mph (50 kph). That same day another rider wasn't so lucky. There was a husband and wife in one of the cars behind me that were both EMTs and I got experienced care right away. Plus, I was wearing boots, gloves, a leather jacket, and a full-face helmet. The road rash was from my jeans wearing through during the slide.
Mac: Firefox is my primary, Edge for things that don't work in Firefox, Safari for things that don't work in Edge.
PC: Firefox and Edge.
I write in cursive with a fountain pen in a Mnemosyne notebook. It's tantamount to code due to my poor handwriting 😀
I have a closely cropped beard. I grew it in the pandemic just to see if I could. It didn't look too bad and my wife didn't object so I kept it. Beats shaving every day.
