real bad flu season here tho all I seemed to get was a head cold, had the shot but everyone is saying it didn't work this year so hopefully next year's shot will :)
Very very dry here this year, with all the heat still to come creeping southward toward us :)
I hope the fires aren't too bad there this year!

Try riding a motorcycle. They will make eye contact, grin, and pull out in front of you!
Forcing you to leave a wavy black skidmark on the road. Or a brown one on the seat...
Funny, it doesn't happen as much since I got a GoPro camera.
They'll claim that they didn't see the motorcycle, high beam on, orange safety vest.
But apparently they see the tiny camera on my helmet.
...87° here today but a big change tomorrow 20° colder and more water from the sky. Now I am certain the switch for summer has been turned off for the rest of the year as it isn't supposed to get above the mid 60s for the next week and a half with lows down in the mid 40s. Yep, time to pull the extra blankies out all right.
Thinking of getting a monthy transit pass as I find I will be using the bus and tram more as the weather gets worse. The good part, for me it cots only 28$.
...had a pretty nice day today. Attended to a friend's retirement party had a few drinkies. and watched Green Bay throttle Chicago on Thursday Night Football.
Everything was fine until I headed home. While waiting for the bus a large group of cyclists rode by taking up both lanes. Must have been some kind of night ride or something like that. Seemed pretty cool at first until one idiot with no lights (it was already dark) on a mountain bike peeled off from the group, jumped the curb at a fairly decent clip, and came right at me forcing me to jump back out of his way. Normally making such an evasive move is difficult enough for me with my stifff achy joints and bones, but dealing with this pinched nerve on top of it made it all the more worse. It wasn't that he couldn't see me as I was standing right under a street light wearing light clothing and a fiarly vibrant Hawai'ian shirt, so it made me feel his action was deliberate.
He probably thought it was some kind of joke to terrorise a senior citizen.
If I had a cane I would have jammed it in his spokes and given him a pavement facial.
Well, fingers crossed, not as dry as it was at the end of 2008 so that's hopeful ;)
Is football final time here, the local team is playing and the 'hood is jammed with helicopters gawking at us locals :)
sun hasnt cracked the horizon yet, but is time to start journey to day job, - big complaint
Canes and walking sticks can be very useful. And if you get the urge to grow old disgracefully you can annoy the neighbours by running the tip along iron railings, like kids do with sticks.
Also if you get the right sort of walking stick they can be very sartorially elegant. I have a friend who collects walking stick, and uses the one that fits the situation. So attending himself's funeral he carried a natty ebony and silver one.
Also you can get walking sticks with concealled flasks, so if you feel in the need for a little tipple after nearly getting run down by a yobbo on a bike it is there to hand.

A walking stick can be a good Fashion Accessory , and Fred Astaire's dancing wouldn't have been the same without one.
I like my cane. It's the one my father and grandfather had (the men in this family apparently all end up about the same height). It's just a simple wooden cane with a crook at the top. It's been modernized with a rubber foot on the bottom but otherwise is just a well worn sturdy stick. I contemplate its use as a weapon now and then. Spoke spearing, Shin whacking, Toe mashing. And when in Universal Studios piloting a "Personal Transport Vehicle" zipping from attraction to attraction, I contemplate its use as a back poker for the crowds of arm-to-arm gawkers blocking my way. Also, it's good for garnering sympathy now and then. Yes, I play the decrepit ancient person game now and then. Why not? I've paid my dues and look the part.
sometimes i think i'm happy. sometimes not.
dayjob has a policy about not providing aspirin.
they sent us to cpr training, so we know how to use the AED.
but we can't give the baby aspirin recommended by the cpr trainer.
baby aspirin works quicker for chest pain, could save your life.
avenger's 2, "we're fighting an army of robots. i have a bow and arrow, it doesn't make sense."
Could also kill someone First aiders, no matter how well trained are not trained to administer medications. aspirin thins blood. For someone like my Late partner (himself) or Leather Gryphon an aspirin on top of the prescribed amount of blood thinners could be fatal by causing internal bleeding. only trained parmedics are allowed to use medications, however mild.
My Playground attendants were all trained first aiders but were not even allowed to use lemon juice or vinegar to neutralise and reduce the pain of wasp stings, because if the sting happened to be a bee sting rather than a wasp sting, then that treatment would worsen the effect of the original sting.
*evil cackle*
Imagine that!
Love it!
Seriously though, after my car accident where the guy rear-ended me and totalled both our vehicles, a bus driver (I bussed everywhere for a month until I got a new car) suggested getting a bicycle. I told him I wasn't crazy! It's horrendous around here for vehicles, I honestly don't know why people want to ride bikes. Man that would be scary!
if someone is at risk for cardiac arrest, hopefully, they have the pace maker/defribulator already installed.
actually, if they have a pace maker, hopefully they are home on disability and not at a dayjob.
with today's economy, who knows though.
13 minutes to TGIF
chilled Pinot Noir waiting for me at home. is gonna be soo good
last week TGIF, bus was 90 minutes late. was too tired for TGIF
My best friend had a pacemaker and worked as a network administrator! Having a pacemaker doesn't make you inelligible for work. You just can't do certain things. And the ones they have these days can adjust to a workload. So if you are exerting yourself, it will adjust and give you more beats per minute.

...I've ridden a bike on the streets since well before my teen years. I knew how to watch out for myself, stay off of busy streets, as well as what the rules of the road were (helped tremendously when in passing Drivers Ed) which I still follow to this day (probably why I am still around). I have mirrors, lights, I signal turns, stop for stop signs and stoplights. yield to pedestrians in crosswalks, and even know how to deal with four way stop signs (there are times I actually have to "educate" motorists on this last one). I even refrain from riding on sidewalks and will get off to walk my bike to where I can lock it up. Basically I treat my bike as a vehicle and not a toy, something most cyclists here seem to completely ignore. Their funeral I guess.
Unfortunately, Portland OR in it's desire to be the most "bike friendly city in the nation" permits adult cyclists to ride on the sidewalks (something most other sensible cities prohibit). Yes, there are specific rules and regulations but nobody bothers to follow them. This is where things can get ugly, particularly since many cyclists here feel they are the gift to the world of whatever higher being they believe in. It isn't unusual that when I get buzzed or nearly clipped by someone from behind with no warning and I ask to please next time let me know they are back there (required by city ordinance) I either get the middle finger salute or an obscenity laden tirade about my genetic heritage. Even with my tinnitus I can here a skatebaorder or a jogger in plenty of time (and they even let me know which side they are passing on). Someone on a bike on the other hand is pretty much dead silent. in all manners of the word including verbally (again unless you point out their mistake).
Getting hit by someone on a bike may not be fatal, but it still can result serious injury, especially to us older folks. The sad part about it, unlike motorists, adult cyclists don't, and are not required to carry liability insurance. So if you are injured by one of these "devil may care" cyclists as happened to me several years ago), you are the one who ends up eating the medical costs alomng with all the pain an suffering. Personally, as bike rider myself, I would have no issue paying for insurance to have the satisfaction that if one of these scofflaw two wheelers injures me by their stupidity and carelessness, they will be the ones to pay and I have the right to take them to court.
People have been making the same complaint since, like forever - even before Americaland was a blip on Columbus's radar . . .
aye tis all then gret useless spawny-eyed parrot-faced wazzocks as does it
...

TGIF!
CHEERS
...happy Friday all
Suffering from a football grand final day here
that was yesterday, seems more organised on the streets today :0
Welsh is the oldest remnant of the older English languages?
NO ......... Welsh is one of the Brythonic languages. It has nothing to do with those English invaders and their mongrel language.
Welsh legend has it that the reason the Wales is so full of hills and mountains is that when those pesky Angles and Saxons (Anglo-saxons. English) kept pusing westwards the welsh all got together and pushed wales up into the hills and mountains and further away from the invaders. If yoou had a powerful enough and big enough steam roller you could roll Wales out and see how big a country it really is.
Just for a laugh
