Death along QUEENS Street

I am participating in the Blogging from A-Z Challenge again this year. What is this mysterious blogging challenge you ask? Arlee Bird from Tossing it Out came up with this fantastic idea where bloggers post using consecutive letters of the alphabet for 26 days in April. It grew in numbers, and Arlee now has many helpers.

Odd deaths happen, right? It’s sort of like being at the right place at the right wrong time. My A-Z 2016 blogging journey takes us down the road of Death by Oddity. Come join me.

Q= Death along QUEENS Street

A thirty-nine year old circus worker died after riding his bicycle down Queens Street, NY, and running into an open car door. The bike handlebar stabbed his neck, puncturing the jugular vein. The article is at the New York Post.

This reminds me of when I was ten years old and rode my bicycle, with my eyes closed, down our street in Illinois. If you are imagining that I ran into something, you would be correct. I ran into our neighbor’s parked vehicle—a highway patrol car.

I could have died of embarrassment that day. That would have been odd.
