* follow up on the kite string... "sigh~" many years after that other accident, at lunch break from work, i was slowing down to stop at a take away to grab some food. there was a kite string hanging off a tree, and it smackd me in the face. must have been my fear/trauma of the damn thing, and i flinched and squeezed the brake harder, and the front wheel locked up... splat, uff...
