Silver lining to the urgent care trip: hit up a nearby bike shop and they have reasonable rates for rentals ($100/wk), so I'll likely bring my pedals and helmet on the next trip down.

Today, as the wife and I were making a trip to the grocery store, we saw a little dog wandering the neighborhood for an hour plus. We asked the FIL about it and he said that it was the neighbor's, but they were out of town. He thought that it would be a good idea to catch it since it had escaped. With the little interaction that I'd had with the dog, I advised leaving it alone. FIL didn't listen. FIL is now getting stitches.
Ugh.
Ugh.

Lol. It's actually one of those little fox-looking dogs; I forget the name. The few that I've met have been testy little bastards and this one's body language suggested the same, which is why I told them to leave it alone. But no.

When I woke up at 5, it dawned on me that I had an 8 AM appointment for a thoracic x-ray. I really didn't want to wait three hours for my coffee, so went back to sleep. Awoke just in time to get dressed and go, and am now just finishing up my coffee. Still wiped out from that excavation work yesterday. Another gorgeous day awaits.

I just got done shoveling the snow. It was only 3" so I could have used @DougRNS' plastic training shovel.

I gotta tell you, this is an unusually outstanding photo. The photographer has managed to capture the euphoria of the winning team in a championship game at just the right instant. Not always easy to do in a fast-moving sport. As well, his focus is properly on the player who heroically made the winning shot while all her teammates are slightly softer as they should be. To accomplish all this at just the right instant is truly outstanding. Award-winning shot, hers and his.

The only thing that would make it better? Yellow headbands, or perhaps even yellow shoes......

Totally blows, getting bit during chemo. Hopefully it doesn't keep him from getting his next treatment.
Good news on the rental bikes though. Being able to ride a bit during chaotic times helps, I think.
