Squirrel

I saw this story on Yahoo, "Squirrel in spokes floors cycling opera singer"...shocking! It is a well-traveled joke in my work/friend circle about how Erik ran over a squirrel during the TCBC Bike Classic, the squirrel flying into the air, landing on him, and then ricocheting off to parts unknown. Unlike this story, we can't be certain of the ending for Erik's squirrel, "The squirrel died in the accident." Erik, we know, unlike the opera singer, was fine. Possibly the squirrel was fine. Not all squirrel-biker accidents end in tragedy.
