I actually get a few hours of real pleasure from a good workout, in addition to the reduction in anxiety. My wife, who was a varsity team athlete in college and works out regularly, doesn't get that. She finds the acute process neutral at best. I read somewhere that the exercise pleasure (rat wheel) trait is demonstrably heritable.

So, I just recieved word that my court case is over. They settled, we settled whatever. Checks in the mail....
So as promised. The damages from my accident to me physically. I broke 10 ribs on the right side and had a punctured lung that did not require the needle, thank god. Broken right clavicle, and small tear in the rotator cuff. I landed on the point of my right shoulder.
. I elected to let the clavicle heal on it's own rather than have another surgery. I was told by my original Orthopod that the hardware would be permanent. I didnt like the idea of a metal plate and screws in my chest cavity with my internal organs. "What would happen if I went down again?" They didnt like that question. So no surgery for Joe.
The new Ortho, was great, told me he would have put me in the old harness but to much time had passed by then. I did a few months of P.T. I still get some real gnarley muscle spasms in my upper right back. And push ups are not real comfortable.
I did manage to scare the shirt off of the nursing staff when they were giving me a spinal block so I could breath. I passed out. Hard. I was severely dehydrated. And my blood pressure was low. When they sat me up to do the tap, lights out! Next thing I know I was being pumped full of (saline?) By I.V and shaking uncontrolably. Was frightening.

I don’t believe the city has a separate gas tax. State gas tax is higher than NJ, which is why I try to buy there when I go to my NJ office. It’s roughly $0.50 cheaper in NJ than in many Philadelphia neighborhoods. The price difference used to be greater, but NJ raised its state gas tax a couple of years ago. Much bellyaching over that. The oil lobby in NJ is strong.

A week or so ago I saw a headline that the UK had ordered a bunch of tests that turned out not to work.

Feel good to have some closure behind you?

I hope the settlement included a ball bat to the drivers collarbone.

Weird. If they're within a short distance, one would assume the stations pay the same price.

I think this weekend was the first time anyone could get a test, without going through hurdles.
I'm still confused as to (1) whether an antibody test actually exists, and (2) do we know with certainty that someone who has had the virus won't get sick again in the next year?
What was farmed?

I was trembling uncontrollably while having my finger stitched up. I felt nothing beyond the needles in the bone, for numbing purposes. Perhaps it was related to shock, which I did not knowingly experience throughout the whole affair. Cool as a cucumber throughout, except for that.

I hear gasoline is under a dollar per gallon in some places, still over $3 here but I haven't purchased any for weeks. I haven't started my car in a week but tomorrow I need to get groceries again. Mrs John hasn't started her car in a month.
Yesterday I took the mountain bike out for a spin and while I was climbing a rocky fire road 5 men on horseback joined me from an equestrian trail. It was weird, like a group ride but I was the only bike. One of the guys to my left started chatting and we had a nice conversation until they turned off on a different road.

I'm trying to be the bigger man about the driver. While I was lying in the street she asked me several times what I was doing in the middle of the street. I was on the "bike path" it crosses a street. She turned onto it and got me. I realize she was in shock etc. It was still not easy to stop my mouth from giving her what for.
