 Another first.  First time for all of the riders today to be female.

Crazy story from the first rider of the day.  She had an accident in Mexico and the doctor-like person recommended surgery for her wrist.  Scary room where the surgery was done and the surgeon-like person showed her the cell phone recording of the repair while she was under anesthesia.  The people in the room were in street clothes and were laughing at the pieces of bone that were pulled out and set aside.  It really freaked her out.  She came back to the states and had it looked at and the doctor said that the screws that were used were too long and ran all the way up into the finger bones plus, screws were not needed in the first place.  He removed the screws and set her wrist just like any broken bone would be set.  I asked if her kids were helping her out with all of her issues.  She said no and that they had pretty much abandoned her since their father died.  I felt bad for her and the situation she was in.

Was on 71 south of town and heard this odd noise coming from a car that was coming up to pass me on the driver's side.  They did not remove the gas pump nozzle from the gas tank and were scooting down the freeway with the nozzle still stuck in the gas tank and a 6 foot section of hose attached to it and dragging the pavement.

Most of us have heard the term Spanglish, which is a word that describes the mixing of Spanish and English.  Today a nice-looking Indian female was talking on her phone and was mixing Hindi with English.  I am not sure if there is a term for that yet but if there was it would probably be Hinglish.
