Even going to the Mile High Nationals on Friday and Sunday, my Saturday total will most likely put All Y'All to shame.

How very un-Jens of you.

Only 1 Willy's there this weekend, rjones28. Typical slew of Vette's and Camaro's.

I can only imagine how you feel in the brain drain tsunami of the 33 Twitter Feed.

i really must applaud velo's dedication to the BF cause. posting from death bed. bravo!

the only way to beat that is to post after death.

Fixed for 41 accuracy.

You should absolutely get checked out. Injuries can creep up on you days later. Man, hope you are ok...

i believe I have some catching up to do on the mileage front. I will now evoke my century a week clause. I shall not wimp out at 95 miles like some people who shall remain nameless.



cough pcad cough

My undivided attention to the exciting baseball action last night prevented a proper night's sleep. Losers in the 11th, I also feel craptacular this morning.

However, the pursuit of justice stops for no mortal.

hey velo

what nasty ailment are you suffering from? nothing trivial, I trust.

If you have zero symptoms, no dizziness, headaches, loss of consciousness, etc, relax. Because all they will do is run up $2000 in medical bills doing a pointless CT scan (after which they will either tell you 'you had a concussion' or 'you didn't have a concussion' and they'll send you home and tell you to take Tylenol). Just be observant and if any neurological symptoms arise (coordination, memory, headaches), then you might want to go get checked.

I've been through this a couple of times, both times I was cold cocked in bike crashes and evacuated to the ER by ambulance. That's a slightly different scenario, they CT scan you when that happens. The CT scan made my medical bills higher, but that was about it. A precaution. You know, one they didn't even have prior to 1980 or so (or whenever) and people used to whack their heads all the time.

Some solid banter between Tulex and umd in Razor's thread. About grammar, nonetheless.

Other than that, nothing to see there. Move along.

They are looking for head trauma that is potentially complicating or fatal when they CT scan you after you bang your head. Internal bleeding, fluid on your brain, etc. Except those are conditions that generally do not coincide with the patient 'feeling fine', so if you have sustained such an invisible injury, don't worry, you'll start feeling crappy soon enough. The awareness that any such symptoms should get you to the hospital to get checked out quickly should be enough, I think the odds of that happening if you feel fine 5-12 hours after you bang your head are <1%. If you're injured your brain, you'd start feeling disoriented, nauseous, headachy, etc. which would clue you in to take action.

On the other hand, BF injures my brain all the time and I still feel fine.

I'll be dead soon enough. What a friggin relief that will be.

Stupid Mets.

Oh no, the 33 twitter feed is very highbrow.

Used colloquially as a noun or adjective, highbrow is synonymous with intellectual; as an adjective, it also means elite, and generally carries a connotation of high culture. The word draws its metonymy from the pseudoscience of phrenology, and was originally simply a physical descriptor.[1] "Highbrow" can be applied to music, implying most of the classical music tradition; to literature, i.e. literary fiction; to films in the arthouse line; and to comedy that requires significant understanding of analogies or references to appreciate. As the former buzzword has lost some currency and sounds slightly passé, its use now gives an impression of mild irony.

Good points pcad. While the expenses could be for nothing, better than dying...

Unless you are into that sort of thing...

This place is like a halfway house...... or something.

Today is the first day of sports hell. For the next month or so, Cubs radio will be it.

Talk about Hades.

I suppose I got the flu. Yesterday I had widespread body aches--even when I had to pee.

Much of that is gone today, but I have little energy to generate the megawatts of thrust I typically transfer to the bike.

flu in the summer. that is really unlucky.

You really should look into foodborne illnesses. Some of them are nothing to mess with. More people get them than you would ever expect too.

From Wiki:
In 1999 an estimated 5,000 deaths, 325,000 hospitalizations and 76 million illnesses were foodborne in the US.

any recent tick bites?
