Post ride checks?

Got home from work on Thursday. Changed into my shorts and t-shirt. Came back into the kitchen and my wife's eyes got big and very concerned, "What did you do to your nose?"

I had no idea, but it must have been pretty gruesome to elicit her response. I went into the bathroom to look in the mirror. Across the bridge of my nose was a thick, coagulated mass of what looked like dried-blood. I didn't remember cutting it or banging up against anything in my shades that would open it up that much. WTF?

Then, I gingerly touched it. It was a bug that had formed perfectly in line with the bottom of the nose bridge of my glasses.

I had run through a couple rain spots on the way home. Some of those drops hurt. I guess one of them was a bug.
