A Quick Get Well Update<\/b><\/p>\n

The story I’d received about our friend’s biking accident turns out to have been very wrong. The crash simply involved a misunderstanding. The rider wanted to go one way and the bike wanted to head the other way. The bike apparently won that battle and our poor pal used the wholly wrong implement to stop her forward momentum—her face.<\/p>\n

Oh, there are other corrections too. No tree involved. A couple cracked vertebrae instead of seven chipped ones. Three months in a brace as opposed to six. All told, I was wrong on the numbers and even most of the circumstance, but very right in wishing this powerful lady a speedy recovery.<\/p>\n

And to the folks staffing a certain university hospital in Hillcrest, you might not be so happy when the wires holding her jaw shut are removed. I understand that you have a little explaining to do about the level of her care.<\/p>\n

Pool Blogging! – Part Eight<\/b><\/p>\n

You and I clearly understand that you don’t want the water from the spa flowing back into the pool when the spa is running. Only a dullard would blink when explaining the system of check and throttle valves you might need to keep that from happening.<\/p>\n

Well ladies and gentlemen, allow me to introduce myself as Dullard Numero Uno.<\/p>\n

Sure, I had an epiphany about three hours into building the thing, but until then there was plenty of head-scratching, pacing, and general bewilderment. (That’s not so strange—for you. – ed<\/i> Thanks chief! – bob)<\/p>\n

On another note, it was a warm but overcast day today in the desert. I was deceived by the clouds into thinking that I wouldn’t need a hat, or sunscreen. That was a mistake. Granted, I was no picture of beauty to begin with, but now I’m burnt and scaly as well. This however might give me an advantage in looking for a construction job.<\/p>\n

Writers need writing samples, maybe the only thing construction guys need is a good, weathered tan to give them “gravitas.” It seems to be the only thing a lot of these folks I’ve encountered during my pool adventure have going for them. (Are you impugning their professional credentials? Isn’t that slander? – ed<\/i> You bet! On both counts! If you had seen the tile job these brain surgeons committed to the ages and called “good,” you would’ve expelled your Atkins-friendly wrap. – bob Okay, I need to lose a little weight, no need to get personal. – ed<\/i>)<\/p>\n

Your closest pal in the universe,<\/p>\n
