I really want to do another >100 mile ride tomorrow, but looks wet so will have to settle for more fake miles. I think the Mallorca Mafia are planning a 130 miler for next weekend which I think may be our longest ride before the 312.

We're one week away from the last group here at our site being laid off, which leaves only 3 of us. And since it's a Friday and the laid off are all winding down their work, I'm the only guy in the building. Come April, it'll be even worse. And we haven't found a new office space yet.

Being one who is more accustomed to city noise than rural smells, I’ll take the noise (all other things being equal).

I developed sepsis during the holidays, passed out in my kitchen and wasn’t found for a day or two, on New Year’s Eve. Yadda yadda yadda…I was intubated for a few days and then had my mitral valve and part of my aorta replaced. I was in the hospital for over a month before being moved to a rehab place. I didn’t walk until sometime in March and only had my first shower of 2023 this week. That’s all.

You didn't mention that this is in (real) Vancouver.

I was only found in time thanks to an observant next door neighbor. She noticed the back door to my deck open and only my bathroom light on for an extended period. She went to the neighbor on the other side of me. She has the combination to my lock box from cat sitting. That was on 12/31. Judging from my skin sores, I had likely been there since Friday night or Saturday morning.

kind of funny that it might be three feet off.
https://clui.org/projects/initial-po...iablo-meridian
Later research in the 1980s suggested that the copper bolt head, left exposed inside the center of the column, was actually from a coast and waterways survey started in 1852, and that the 1851 public lands survey mark, a small rectangular depression in the rock summit, is actually three feet northeast from the center of the pillar, a point that is now under the floor of the museum. If this is true, then the column, and the axis of the entire building, is off by 36 inches.

I originally didn’t want to hear the details because they upset me so much.
I had a lot of hallucinations along the way. One thing I think really happened was being brought to on my kitchen floor by an EMT using Narcan. That seems to be SOP when there is no sign of injury. My memory is that I started telling the EMT that I wasn’t a junkie. I also remember signing consent forms with an X because I didn’t have the coordination to sign my name.
