Dave!

Dave, a nice normal looking guy, with a great gift of bargain shopping.

He found this wonderful bicycle at a neighboorhood garage sale. I didn't know he was shopping or I would have helped him shop. We love garage sales. Our first dates were garage sale-ing.

This is a top notch brand name, and he got it for only $25.

Which means that I get his old new bike. This is a $mega priced bike. I am able to ride it now that he lowered the seat. I have very short legs.

We went for a ride and loved it. It was cool weather and he said,

"Let's ride again after dinner. "

We did.

And Dave fell because his foot got caught in the pedal basket. He fell right off a high curb, in a new street that had nothing but stones, no paving yet. He fell on the handle bar and hurt his ribs and shoulder.

But he insisted he was fine, so we rode for another two hours.

While we explored Cary we found a pond and walked around it and saw many tiny fish and heard a lot of frogs, and he began to crumple as he often does, from the PD. We waited for his foot to uncramp and people in the neighborhood saw us and came out to ask if we needed help.

Twice.

Our town has lots of nice people.

Eventually we made it back to the bikes and rode off to have a fire in the fireplace on the deck and some stiff Gimlets.

When he was relaxed he started having muscle spasms that got progressively more painful and he was groaning so badly that I said,

"I’m driving you to the emergency room." ( This was my only line that made it to the film. The rest is on the cutting room floor.)
Two hours and three x-rays later we came home. They gave him Valium and Darvocet (or something like that) and we had some ice cream and went to sleep. He woke up several times with the spasms and still isn’t any better.

Geesh.

He says "I feel like I should be shot."

So I am taking him to the vet and having him put down.

The End.
