Singlespeed & Fixed Gear "I still feel that variable gears are only for people over forty-five. Isn't it better to triumph by the strength of your muscles than by the artifice of a derailer? We are getting soft...As for me, give me a fixed gear!"-- Henri Desgrange (31 January 1865 - 16 August 1940)

Well, Today I:

1) Got rid of my heart monitor! Huge step in recovery and I should be released from travel restrictions by next week. 2 whole weeks without chest pain or arrhythmia episodes!
2) Got my urban porch vegetable garden prepped to plant tomorrow. Sweet Peppers, Banana Peppers, Cabbage, Carrots, Tomatoes, Green Beans and Peas and strawberries are on the agenda tomorrow.

Here's to continued improvements, Tom!

Today I got a 13.5" Rockhopper that'll soon get single speeded. Unfortunatly it's HiTen. I never knew they made HiTen Rockhoppers.

Realized I have a paper to write tonight, that's due tomorrow. The topic is stress in your desired occupational field. It's only three pages, but must include an interview with someone in the industry.

Unless any of you know where I can find a nuclear physicist at 10pm pacific, I think I'm going to have to lie.

I think you should change your desired occupational field to economist/ business & you're saved for the meantime.
As a BS Applied Physics major, I don't think that will work for me, sadly.
Too bad he knows my major.

New Rule: don't tell GE profs your major.

Well, I have two topic choices technically. One that has to be approved, and the other that requires an interview. So I think I'm screwed either way.

Eh, GE classes take lower priority for me. Other classes need attention. I don't think I'll do it. I should still get a B.

I wish you'd posted this, say, about a month earlier. I could have hooked you up with a Particle Physicist currently working at CERN, or one who formerly worked at PanTex for the DOD and is retired.
