 Was driving the ol' Tigger in April of this year, and it was one of the
first 70'F or so days in the year. Was getting on I-91 south and changing
lanes and adjusting my speeds when I felt what I though was a bit of gravel
bounce off my jacket over my left chest.

My Kilimanjaro jacket was somewhat unzipped it being such a beautiful day.
Suddenly a sharp pain erupted from my left scapular area. Owww! What the F**K
was that?

Midway down my back now.....OWWWW! F**K me! What is in here with me? OK fly
the plane, fly the plane, fly the plane, the old training comes through!

Get my speed under control. Check. Lanes clear on the right. Check. Scoot
over to shoulder. Check. Apply emergency procedure. Check. Elapsed time? real
short!!!

OWWww! Right side of my belly.....   MotherF**ker!!! Die bastard!

ok stand down fuk the kill switch the motor dies since the bike is still in
gear. Rip the jacket off and throw onto ground!  Rip off shirt and throw off
also. What the f**K? Owwww! belt line top of pants!!! Shit! unzip and pull
down pants!!!

The people driving by on the highway must be wondering what the crazy person
stripping on the side of the road must have taken for drugs.....

A somewhat dazed but still flight worthy wasp emerges and orbits me. I tried
to grab it and kill it but it was to fast and the gusts from the trucks soon
blew it away.  Bastard.
 

Good thing I am not allergic to wasps!
