No. We live in the money laundering capital of the western hemisphere. And I was thinking, yesterday, that if bribery is used in every other everyday activity, it is also very likely being used on Covid compliance issues. We're number three in the world now, behind only the USA and Brazil. Three countries whose leaders have been in denial mode from day one.

Studies do show topical neosporin or equivalent plus bandaid can improve healing and reduce scar formation. If you feel “stupid” for a couple days that’s normal but if not feeling back to normal look into post-concussion rehab.

Aware and agree. One of my cycling friends bought a modest home in Menlo Park 30 years ago. He is a pilot. Was assigned to PHL for several years which is how I met him. Now back in California and he told me how much his place is worth in current market.

Yeah. The problem is, to realize the gain you have to move someplace else. And I see everyone complaining about rain and heat and humidity. I have friends back where I grew up in PA who still ride there, but I remember the roads they're riding on - and the drivers on those roads. "You're a better man than I am, Gunda Din".

I'm on the DL today after a mishap right before dinner last night. I was crouching for a couple of minutes tending to a messy floor by the dog's dish and got up too fast. Big mistake, I fainted and whacked my head on the woodwork of the entrance to the livingroom. Had a big, egg sized bump that I iced down and the worst is my neck, which is already, FUBAR suffered trauma.
Felt better than expected today and am hoping no Major neck issues to result. It is stiff and barking at me but I will wait before I see the Chiropractor.
I HTFU and cut one of the lawns and mulched the final 2/3 of the flower beds anyway.

Gotta say this too, unfortunately: Bad idea to let a chiropractor manipulate your neck.

Why, when I were a lad, I had to mow 1 3/4 acres with a walk-behind Jacobsen mower. I can't remember how long it took, apart from FOREVER!!!!
