I swear, I went TWO YEARS at least without a flat, and now I've had TWO in the last MONTH!!! Something about this time of year, the sandstone hillsides dry out and start crumbling and you get rocks rolling out into the bike lane, then I come zooming along, and they're waiting in areas of dappled sunlight.....
*WHAM!! FFffFFffFFffFFFfffFFFfffFFFFffffFFFFffffFFFfffffffffffffffffffffffff.........*
Amazingly enough, my little tiny Lezyne micropump is enough to pump up even the 28s, which, as it happens, are the ones I've flatted. Not the 25s. No, that would be too easy!

Correct. It has potential evil. I don't get any reimbursement for anything other than office visits, so my situation is not quite as worrisome as those where the doctors order very expensive tests that they themselves make money on. That is really concerning. I wonder if that's why the average cardiologist or gastroenterologist is earning several times what I earn?

Stanford took back the Stanford Axe!
Golden Bears were an extra point from putting it into OT, but got blocked. Ouch.

Close. General internal medicine. The value based programs I have seen are generally well intentioned but not necessarily all that helpful.

We’ve had a lot of success changing physician behavior in orthopedics, specifically over utilization of inpatient rehab and skilled nursing. Got one practice from sending 50% of their lower joint replacements to SNF down to 5, their readmission rates are also half of what they once were

Should have gone gators. Mine can take a 22 at point blank. (not advertised nor tested)

Actually took a road bike for a ride. I'd forgotten how nice my old Mercian rides. And how much thinking ahead you have to do with DT shifters and toe clips and straps. especially with slotted cleats. On the plus side a NR rear derailleur makes a nice satisfying chunk when you change gear. I'm going to need to replace my gloves though: worn gloves and thin, cloth covered bars is not a good combination.

Some discussion is occurring on the UP Steam page, but nothing definitive that I've seen.

Hmm... if they pull shens like that, could they maybe have done something like darkened the tail of a 6 to make a 0?
