Well, seems like luck is on my side this month. Lots of great things going in my life - here's the most recent.
This morning riding to class at 6:15am I ran over a nail. I actually had the helmet cam on and recording, so I have it pretty well documented. You can hear the puncture of the nail at about 0:32, and can physically see the nail at about 1:32.
I also snapped a few photos just because I had an hour to kill while somebody came with tire plugs. Ended up plugging the tire and riding it the 2 miles home. I consider myself lucky I didn't have a complete blowout and go down. I'm also lucky it wasn't raining - I've been riding in the rain a lot lately and had it been raining, I'd have really agitated. But, I'm alright so I guess no complaints.
Here's the video and photos if anybody is interested:
