Just got into my first real accident. It was quite minor, we ended up not even calling it in as it wasn't worth the hassle. But my 16 year, 4 month, 4 day perfect driving streak is officially broken. :(

In nicer news, I went down to Recycled Cycles to see if they had any used bike chain for sale. They didn't, as it was usually too damaged to bother selling, but would I like to dig through their recycling bins? Would I! The bins had recently been emptied, but I still found two full chains in there -- free! Will have to work on further prototyping the metal Jacob's Ladder this weekend. And I'll have to keep going back to get more chain, maybe check out some other bike shops. I'll eventually need around 10 meters of it for the full project...
