It’s always Jeff.
Jeff mountain bikes regularly. He’s pretty experienced and is always ready to push the limits. Almost to a fault…especially when the limits are his almost 40 year old body.
Jeff gets his fair share of bruises and scratches from riding and has only been significantly hurt one time. He fell off the side of the trail into a 6+ foot ditch. Yeah, it was pretty bad. He cracked his helmet, tweaked his bike and had a bruise on the side of his hip about the size of a cantaloupe.
He toughed it out and the injuries since have been pretty typical.
Until today.
Jeff and his buddies obviously pushed themselves on today’s trail. It wasn’t until he was 100 feet away from the exit that Jeff took a tumble.
Into a cactus.
Before he came home, he had plucked most of the quills?? out of his arm and leg. Unfortunately he did not take a “before” picture. What? We got a blog here, of course it was one of the first things that popped into my head.
Don’t worry, we definitely got “after” pictures. 
He says if he runs his hand up his arm he can still feel a bunch of tiny quills stuck in his arm. He had an especially thick one stuck is his thumb. When I say stuck, the entire then was under the surface of his skin. We put it next to a penny for reference.
What may suck the most are the tiny translucent ones that look like Jeff’s blond hair.
Poor Jeff (and poor me just a little…he’s going to be grumpy tonight.)
