Too bad you can't get that week back. That case, AFAIK, has been basically set aside, by nearly all 50 states. There must be blight or actual public use, in most states, for the guv to make you sell your home.

Back to cycling related content:
One of my friends had to bail early from today's ride. He is running Di2 and his RD was in between gears and he could not fix it in spite of trying himself and help from a couple other riders who are familiar with the system.
It turned out the problem is, somehow, his RD hanger was bent. He took it to the shop and they fixed it. Said Cervelos have "soft" hangers. I wanted to make a viagra joke but chose to take the high road.
Edit: forget the high road. Just made Cervelo Viagra suggestion on strava.

Casually Deliberate
New interns. They come to rounds and say: I don't know the history on this case or what's going on. Doh. That is the crux of it all, really. Knowing what's going on with your cases. Its the same stuff every year. Sometimes I feel like a goldfish swimming in circles in my fishbowl- haven't I seen this exact thing an endless succession of times?!
On a related note, one of them comes to find me. She's on internal medicine and they have a cat who had six seizures last week and was put on a seizure medication elsewhere and now has asthma. Do I think it could be the seizure med? BTW, the cat had bacterial encephalitis 8 years ago, extension of infection from the inner ear to the brain and he needed surgery on both ears to clear it up. OMG, is his name Blackberry? Yes, she says. Wow, wasn't even my case, I just consulted on it for the surgeon. Where the heck did I dredge that memory up from?!
(Ans is yes, BTW, on the seizure medication. You can't give that one to cats. It causes asthma in some of them.)
And the funny thing too is that the interns are still in the stage where they say stuff that makes zero sense and don't even realize it. This one said to me: The cat had six seizures back to back but actually no one saw them, so they just assume it was a cluster of seizures. I point out that makes no sense, right. If they specifically say the cat had six seizures, it wasn't one event comprised of six seizures because how would they have known it was six? Time to revisit the history and find out what really happened...

Windows were finished just in time to go on a walk/early dinner. Now the question is: quick 20-mile mile while there's still light or beer and an ice cream cone?

BTW @WhyFi, go for the ride. You can always eat/drink later, when it's dark out.
Actually you can ride while it's dark out too.
As an FYI.

After all was said and done, I did have to look for one cat for about 10 minutes. Same cat that found her way in to a wall cavity behind a mini-fridge in a hotel. Also the only cat of ours that I would spend 10 minutes trying to find.

But then I'm the one who had a dog who jumped off the roof of UGAs vet school. She was more exuberant than intelligent.
Also was unscathed!
