Even here, sometimes feels like California

Last night I bumped my head on the coin drawer of the public washing machine. It hurt real bad, but I had no idea it was bleeding (until I looked in the mirror upon returning home).

What bothered (and still does) me is that three different men had gone in and out of the laundry room, right in front of me, and neither of them even tried to point out that I had blood coming out of a cut on my forehead. The first dude was even there when I bumped my head and said Owww out loud! So when I got home and went to the bathroom, should I have been surprised to find the 1/4 inch-wide scab?

I guess some things are going to hurt more than others....

This is a side view of my car.
