A CAT scan full of cobwebs
Austin has this huge annual biker rally. The biggest one in Texas. It was going on this past weekend. So I got on my Harley Saturday morning and rode out there. I spent a few hours walking around, seeing everything there was to see. Had one beer, bought a bottle of water and decided to head out on the road again. I went to this one biker friendly place I knew of and had a couple more beers and listened to the band for a while. All the while, it’s a sunny day and about 100 degrees. I left that place and rode for about an hour to another place I knew of in the hill country west of Austin to get something to eat. It’s a great place to ride, very scenic and little traffic. So I got to the place, parked my bike under a tree and went in and ordered an ice water and a beer. I had been out in the sun for about 6 hours and I figured I could use some water more than I needed a beer.
As I was drinking my water and beer, I was talking to this woman who claimed to have been in a 60’s radical group called the Weathermen. She was very interesting but all the while I’m listening to her, I’m starting to feel faint. I’m sweating bullets and getting nauseous and dizzy. The water isn’t helping. I only had two or three sips out of the beer.
