Road Cycling “It is by riding a bicycle that you learn the contours of a country best, since you have to sweat up the hills and coast down them. Thus you remember them as they actually are, while in a motor car only a high hill impresses you, and you have no such accurate remembrance of country you have driven through as you gain by riding a bicycle.” -- Ernest Hemingway

Your hand may feel like the finger is still there, but I don't think the finger itself feels much.

I dispise painting, hire a professional. I'm patient in most things, but not that.

I wish I could justify it. But their work would never measure up to my expectations.

There are a few areas in life where my expectations are pretty low and I'm OK with it. Painting is one of them.

I'm planning to tell the story that I couldn't decide on a tattoo so I just went with this. But my old farmers hands are so scarred up that this one miight not even show.

This snow was not forecast at all.

I feel personally attacked, and honestly quite offended.

True. I can feel it flexing just like normal, inside its pod. Of course it can't flex with that steel pin running through it. And, from what I'm told, it may never flex again, under its own power.

Back at the tail end of the 80s, my not yet wife and I were going to go to a party in town. We got so much snow the day before that we couldn't get off the hill in the Subaru. Getting back up would have been unthinkable. April 30, iirc. Southeast Ohio

I woke up feeling relatively normal this morning. Learning to live with one hand. I even took off my own t shirt.
And what is this 'riding' you speak of?
