Because of the speed of the vehicle and the slow reflexes of the elderly woman driving the Bronco, the SUV kept coming toward me, and I was soon reunited with its bumper. ![]() The next thing I knew, I was catapulted up into the air then I landed squarely on my backside. As I passed two cyclists on that particular corner, a red four-wheel-drive Bronco going about 55 miles an hour slammed into my bike from behind. Since I was fully exerting myself and focused on the race, I never took my eyes off of him. A police officer, with his back to the oncoming cars, waved me on to turn right and follow the course. I was coming up to a tricky turn where I knew we’d be merging with traffic. I had finished the swimming segment and was in the biking portion of the race when it happened. I was 23 at the time, with a relatively new chiropractic practice in La Jolla, California, and I’d trained hard for this triathlon for months. That moment changed my life and started me on this whole journey. On a beautiful Southern California day in April, I had the privilege of being run over by an SUV in a Palm Springs triathlon. In order for some of us to wake up, we sometimes need a wake-up call. ![]() ![]() 101-105 in Thomas Pynchon's The Crying of Lot 49 Frances G.

Meanwhile, an ultra-secret British intelligence unit tracked Schwieger’s U-boat, but told no one. Germany, however, was determined to change the rules of the game, and Walther Schwieger, the captain of Unterseeboot-20, was happy to oblige. But the Lusitania was one of the era’s great transatlantic “Greyhounds”-the fastest liner then in service-and her captain, William Thomas Turner, placed tremendous faith in the gentlemanly strictures of warfare that for a century had kept civilian ships safe from attack. For months, German U-boats had brought terror to the North Atlantic. The passengers were surprisingly at ease, even though Germany had declared the seas around Britain to be a war zone. On May 1, 1915, with WWI entering its tenth month, a luxury ocean liner as richly appointed as an English country house sailed out of New York, bound for Liverpool, carrying a record number of children and infants. ![]() ![]() ![]() Dead Wake The Last Crossing of the Lusitaniaįrom the #1 New York Times bestselling author and master of narrative nonfiction comes the enthralling story of the sinking of the Lusitania ![]() |
