Reminds me -
An old man was on his death bed. He wanted badly to take all his money with him. He called his priest, his doctor and his lawyer to his bedside.
"Here's $30,000 cash to be held by each of you. I trust you to put this in my coffin when I die so I can take all my money with me."
At the funeral, each man put an envelope in the coffin. Riding away in a limousine, the priest suddenly broke into tears and confessed that he had only put $20,000 into the envelope because he needed $10,000 for a new baptistery.
"Well, since we're confiding in each other," said the doctor, "I only put $10,000 in the envelope because we needed a new machine at the hospital which cost $20,000."
The lawyer was aghast. "I'm ashamed of both of you," he exclaimed. "I want it known that when I put my envelope in that coffin, it held my personal check for the full $30,000."

I think it’s named for a case report where the patient was a bow hunter and got dizzy every time he shot.

No, not a check, technically. But swapping gold for paper is much more of a hit than swapping one kind of paper for another. That seems much more like a kingdom of man thing.

Interesting article discussing the effects of exercise on likelihood of severe illness and death from COVID.

Not even close to "good", but both were a bunch of fun.

I see that. They are predicting morning temps for next weekend to be around 15F. That is possibly below my limit. I am happy in the 20's but 15 is possibly below my limit. I have ridden down to 8F but that's not much fun, especially in the modern era where Zwift is an alternative.

Speaking of being grounded, I might find out if I can drive again. Tomorrow the monitor goes back from whence it came.
