Feast of the Jellied Limb, +10

[ltmurnau]

Ten years ago tonight I was run over by a car in a crosswalk near my home, as I was on my way home from work. My left leg was mangled below the knee and it took a long time to get well. I think all my kollim ridders know the story but if you don't, go here (http://www.islandnet.com/~ltmurnau/text/news1999.htm) and read forward. If you dare.

There's not much else to be said, as by now my leg is about the way it will always be (except for the arthritis). But things are better now; after a lot of angst and pain my son is again living with me, and in a few weeks I will no longer have to walk across the very spot I got hit, Every. Single. Night.

Are your celebrating in your usual manner?

Why yes, yes I am.
Though I used an apple this time.
If it survives the night, it will be forgiven and made into a pie.

I throw a piece of round fruit into the crosswalk where I was run over as a sacrifice to Pedwok, the god of Pedestrian Crossings. Usually it's an orange, but this time I used an apple.

The apple was not there this morning. I can only hope that Pedwok is pleased in taking the sacrifice, for He is a capricious god.

In any event, this will be the last time I will do this, at least at this particular crosswalk.

Very, VERY glad for your new abode, particularly in light of this.

May Pedwok smile upon you. ;D
