Surf's up!

Don't ride your bike through it unless you want to disassemble and regrease all the bearings.

In fact, in general, take a length of string and let it wrap itself around each crank axle where it comes out of the bottom bracket of the bike, to discourage even spashed or rain water from running into the bearing. The water stays on the low point, which is the wrapped string, and drips off before it goes into the bearing.

I'm still at hospital. They drew my blood all night. Just spoke to the cardiologist says I didn't have a hart attack.

Miami Dolphins are really a bad team.

Riding a bike thru water is not easy. It's very de-stabilizing.

We had a really wet and rainy spring (followed by a really dry mid-late summer.)
In May/June I rode my bike though about 10" of water where a lake actually grew over the bike path, and it was so slippery. I almost fell over. Amazingly, there were fish below my feet.

No heart attack is good. Do they have any other answers?

How are your arteries? Any blockage?

Is this Chic-Fil-A or what? It's quiet around here.

Is the chicken sandwich breaded chicken? That would be double bread, half of it deep-fried. Am I visualizing this chicken sandwich right?

Man, I hope Lem is okay. Hate being hospitalized, hate its guts out. Sorry, Fella, really, deepest sympathy right there. More empathy than for funerals for being a prisoner and you didn't do anything bad. Made worse by jabbing you with needles hanging in both arms to guarantee you cannot move or be the slightest comfortable. When it's time to go they make you wait like a prisoner being released. Try not to make a scene of the whole leaving right now, this time okay? I'd make a pop-up card, but honestly, I cannot be arsed with those anymore, just get better. What a BUMMER.

Don't you have a phone there? Doesn't the cell work there? Are you sleeping or what?

Then when you get home you can have real food like Ovaltine.

Miso, and peanut butter and celery with raisins lined up like ants on log.

And reconnect with real food.

Palpitations sound both ridiculously archaically feminine and Star Wars sinister at once. Thu-thump thu-thump thu-thump thu-thump thu-thump thu-thump
pitter-patter pitter-patter pitter-patter pitter-patter
thu-thump thu-thump thu-thump...

Scary.

I mean they feel the same way about Christians.
