Swollen Ear

It was another good day to ride to work today. It was difficult again--I'm still out of shape--but I enjoyed it, especially in the morning when it wasn't so hot. On the way back, it was in the upper 70s (hot for Seattle) and 2 miles from home a bee or a wasp flew into my left ear and didn't want to leave. I swatted it a few times but a few seconds had already elapsed. 5 seconds later I felt a really sharp pain and I thought I was bleeding (I wasn't). Perhaps if I hadn't swatted it, it wouldn't have bitten me, since almost all animals don't take aggressive action unless provoked or hunting prey.

In any case, the pain wasn't that bad half an hour later but my ear is still pretty swollen. No hard feeling to the bee/wasp. Hope you're OK :-).
