    Here's are some pictures that is are a 2-for-1 special!
    Sorry they're so small, but I had to load the "email sized" as the regular setting on the camera is too large and I don't have a program on this p.c. that I can figure out how to use to re-size pictures!
    First scar is the small, roundish dot in the middle of my knee of the first picture. That was the bolt from the front wheel of my old neighbor Scott Cleary's bike. He and I were playing "Chicken" on our bikes..and neither of us chickened out! We crashed head-on and that was my proof that I'm no chicken! At least I wasn't when I was, oh, about 10 when this happened.
    Second, long scar was from surgery. In 1997 I was chasing my ex (not-so-affectionately known as @sshole!) down a railtrail, of all things. Managed to launch myself into the air and into a tree at a shallow angle. Bike stopped dead against said tree, and I continued head first, straight down the trail.
    In ripping my feet from the clipless pedals, I tore my lateral collateral ligament and medial meniscus. Damaged, but did not totally destroy, my ACL too.
    So the long scar and slightly deformed thigh come from them taking a tendon from my hamstrings and rebuilding my LCL.
