Alton Injured!

I haven't said a word about Alton Brown lately.....just waiting around for his new series to start at the end of the month. Poked around the internet looking for updates and omigod, Alton took a spill on his bike out in the Nevada desert back in June, while filming "Feasting On Asphalt". He broke his collarbone and later described the accident for the New York Times.

"Even when you try to be as safe as possible, accidents are sometimes unavoidable. For my latest project, "Feasting on Asphalt," I rode from Savannah, Ga., to Los Angeles, stopping along the way to sample the cooking. About 20 miles north of Las Vegas, I hit a ditch. I tried to power my way out of it and got thrown off the bike.
I heard a sound like a wooden spoon snapping and I immediately knew something was wrong. I had broken my collarbone.
Within a few minutes, I was experiencing five different dimensions of pain — everything from a gnawing sensation to the feeling of flesh being speared by bone.
Talk about feasting on asphalt." (NYT 6/13/06)

What a guy. The tumble will be included as part of the last episode.
