Riding to work yesterday there was a lot of wind. We are on the extreme northern edge of Rita's effects as it passed south of Florida. The wind blew down a tree limb as I was riding. I saw it coming down into the street and tried to dodge it but it struck my right hand as I held the grips.
At first it felt as if my hand might be fractured, but after a couple of minutes I decided it was merely bruised, with a small cut on the back of my hand. No serious damage, but a close call just the same.
