On a recent date we saw this sign (there are street car tracks all over the city) and had a chuckle with "there has to be a reason they put the sign up".
Well we now know why there is a sign. Saturday we were enjoying a nice trip down to the waterfront after a Farmer's Market run for fresh produce. Pulling up to a stop light (and street car tracks) I hear a crash behind and turn around just in time to see Katie going over the front of the bike.
Now those of you who know my sweet wife will also know her first thought after the wreck.
"Did anybody see that."
We got her safely to the sidewalk and as she is leaning against her bike she passes out into some bushes. She proceeds to roll over and starts to spit all of the dirt out of her mouth (later she tells me that her first thought was "why are you waking me up from my nap").
After she passes out one more time and has a seizure like episode the inner doctor is now going through all of the possibilities of what went wrong. None of them are good and all of them have some component of blood seeping around her brain/needing to go emergently to the operating room/going to die on me within the next hour.
After a couple of hours at the University emergency department she was sent home with some very sore muscles. Of note prior to going to the hospital Katie had to change out of her jeans because "I like these jeans and I don't want the ER to cut them off". There was also eye makeup that had to be applied (no it was not mine).
This has taught me a couple of lessons:
1. Never laugh at signs
2. It is easier to be doctor to people you don't know
3. Nothing can ever happen to Katie, I was a basket case on the inside
As for things coming in three's.
Feast your eyes on what I came out to in the parking garage.
At least we are safe now.
Unless things really happen in four's.

You didn't tell me about the a hole who swipped your car. Rrraaarrrr, please come home. There's no place like denver, say it and click your ruby slippers.
Oh you guys, so sorry!
I often think Katie would have fit into my family. Once on the way to the ER when my dad had had a stroke and lost the ability to speak, he still managed to make it clear that he needed to pull over and get a coke for the road. He then refused to go into the hospital until he had finished said coca cola. Just in case you know...don't want to die without that one last fix. Priorities.
Ah that's awful!! You know our family is full of Grace Kellys;-)
Wow and wow!
I can understand needing the makeup, what if you come across some of Bart's work buddies, they need to be sure to fully appreciate how beautiful Katie is!
Wow!! Katie I hope your noggin/bod is ok now. Sounds truly horrific! Ooo the car pick makes me prickle.
