Something fun (not really fun, just a story) : I was riding into Denver about 30 years ago on a four-lane busy street. Suddenly a German Shepherd escaped his pen and, from across the four lanes, he made a bee-line for me, with the intent to kill; no barking, just ears-back, teeth-bared blinding rage and speed. I sped up, but I knew he had the angle and speed on me. Suddenly I heard, [I]thump, thump[I] followed by a piercing cry. I looked around, and he had been hit by a car; he died within minutes. The man who hit him said it was an accident, but that I was extremely lucky it happened. Sad that he died, but at that moment, I was very grateful.
