Well, I came pretty darn close to an ambulance ride this evening.
I took an amoxicillin pill around 5 pm... Around 7, at dinner with friends, I became suddenly and violently ill. After a few stops on the side of the road, I made it home, where I got to lay on the floor for about 3 hours. I called bff, and while he was on his way, I felt so bad that I almost dialed 911. But, since he was close, I waited. I actually thought I waas going to die.
Weird thing is, I've taken amoxicillin before and never had an issue. The last antibiotics I took made me nauseous, but it was a different medication. Ugh. What a scary and awful night.

I saw an ad on craigslist that was a mess of parts. One part was a 9spd DA cassette "used for 2 months" for $30.

It's hard to confirm the wear on a cassette unless you can examine it closely and even then you might not be able to tell. That's a problem when dealing with an unknown seller.

He's only a couple miles down the road. There is a good market for bike stuff here in Atlanta

Since the topic has come up (I'm glad you are better VG) I'll throw this out there if the Addiction MDs are following.
If you have a real good memory, you might recall that I had a reaction (skin rash) after taking a NSAID that I had previously taken without issue. I talked to my brother-in-law (an MD, not a coastingesque practitioner) and he said that every once in a while there are properties in particular batches of drugs that may cause a reaction from a treatment that might not ordinarily trigger one. I understood him to say that there are different methods of making some kinds of drugs and in a rare instance you might just run across a bottle that disagrees with you.
Is that correct? I never heard that before.

I decided that buying a helmet would be a wise use of birthday money but none of the local shops had anything that fit. Within 5 miles of leaving the last shop I almost died in three separate near collisions with road raging SUV drivers purposely aiming at me. The last being a suburban loaded with teenagers pulling into the high school. My disposition was decidedly unfestive and I called off the small amount of celebrating I had intended to do.
I did manage not to cowboy stripe my VW or come to any physical harm so I'm sure I'll get over it. Yes suicide training does suck when you are the one potentially near death.

Buying a sweet jersey tomorrow and doing my first century on Sunday. Any tips? There will be about 4000ft of climbing.
