Roid rage in women is particularly disturbing.

Yeah. Mom is 79 tomorrow. She wants to get pissed off, who am I to say. She can rage if she chooses to.

Screw the rain tomorrow, I'm riding.

Still can't get over this whole affair?

The Wars of Scottish Independence or Mel Gibsons portrayal of William Wallace?

I think we are going to have some kind of referendum on Scottish independence in the near future. That should be fun to watch.

Wonder if there's a Mel Gibson statute in Edinburgh?

Try to keep up.

OK, does England have anything cool like this?

We are utterly slammed with work @ Cotsis CAD, so the business model is working this month. This could throw a wrench into my songwriting career. Oh well. More money for bike and guitar crap. Although I have concluded that buying a new bicycle will have to wait a couple of years, good things come to bike weenies who wait, and I like my current bike gear.

Heading out to a song writing seminar tonight to hear more music criticism. Everybody's a friggin music critic. And they can all blow me.

I'll be on the road by 6:20AM you pathetic wussy ass indoor trainer riding fatso fred losers.

I wish I had this problem.

Well done, rjones. Nope. Nothing like that, nor can they lay claim to the Ladies from Hell.

XO Col. Pcad of the Cyclestar Addictitca

And resident cranky bibs.

Why is Condoleeza Rice in the background?

Not gonna take the bait. Not gonna do it. Nope.

I am only on season three. I can only hope that is not a spoiler.

S**T. )(*^&*(&%$(*&^)+_)+_

Even if it is a spoiler, this is still the best show I've seen in a very long time. Like since Twin Peaks.

it is all starting to make sense. Especially with all of the mechanical dysfunction of his body

pcad? Is that you?

I'm totally hearing everything pcad writes in that voice from now on.

Doubly funny because he has a pretty strong Canadian accent, where I bet the Real pcad talks like a Noo Yawker.

He wasn't really in a lot of pain. (He did say the numbing stuff was AWESOME.) It turned out to be a tiny piece of gold flake from some gold tape on the bottom of the endurance tank he was hammering on to make fit. (It's an older, expanded, tank with a dry break that doesn't quite fit the newer model bike.) It landed right in the middle of his pupil.

The time from the first clinic we went to, where they couldn't get it out, through the time we pushed them to let us leave the hospital ER (after waiting half an hour just to be discharged) was a little over 5 hours for 15 minutes total of a Dr.'s time. The disturbing thing was how... inefficient the whole thing was. We were in a treatment room for close to 3 hours taking up space when there were 20 other people still in the waiting room. One woman had been there 6 hours when we got there. Being a trauma center that particular hospital has a lot to deal with, and we were there at a bad time "because a lot of sick people came in all at once" (Not sure why there were a few police officers pacing the hall.) and "Mondays are always busy". It just seems like they could improve the system a little bit. I really hope the people in need of more urgent care were getting the treatment they needed.

I went to the same ER to get my forehead superglued back together after a soccer incident, it was a Sunday afternoon and me and the "you should have seen the other girl" who needed 18 stitches in her eyebrow were the only ones there. Whole thing took about an hour. Very different scene.

and proud of it.

Those clinics are something, TS. They seem to never be able to get the debris out of anyone's eye. By the time they deal with you, the real ER is packed full, and the wait starts again. Granted, I would rather have someone that knows what they're doing when they come at my eyeball with a needle, and a grinder.

The best line in the history of British television has to be when Downton Abbey's Maggie Smith asks in classic M. Smith deadpan style 'What's a weekEND?'
