Screeching tires are all that is needed to get your whole residential block together.

I was just chilling in a jacuzzi letting some of my muscles recover. As I get out and head back into my apartment, I hear the loudest car screech in my life. It was very close; that is for certain.

I rush indoors to change and went outside.  Police cars, ambulances, and fire trucks were at the scene.

It wasn't a pretty sight.  It appeared that the suspect driving a BMW was heading northbound and basically grazed a bunch of parked cars on his right. He then swerve left.  Another car coming from the opposite direction swerved left to avoid him and crashed into another car on the eastbound side of the street.

The guy tried to flee.  I don't think anyone died, but there were certainly injuries.

Events like these make you re-think about your life.  I hope I have a safe bike ride tomorrow (knock on wood).

Prologue

There is always much anticipation for any new start.  Whether it be writing a blog or participating in le Tour de France....

OK, I haven't personally experience the latter, but I'm sure many of the cyclists in the peloton are anxious on Stage 0.

My life is taking a turn for the good.  After getting my Ph.D two months ago, I'm getting ready for my big move to Baltimore for my career.  It's certainly a wonderful opportunity to start all over and grow.  I had this chance about ten years ago when I left Los Angeles for college in Arizona.  I didn't fully seize that opportunity and realized it a bit too late.

My blog will hopefully share many things.  The adventures that I have, the bike rides that I take, the food that I eat, the things that I learned, and maybe the women that I date. Hence the title of my blog, "EAT. EXERCISE. LIVE."

Sadly, I should have began blogging two months ago, so I'll post a few that will highlight the crazy things that happened.
