This reminds me that I haven't aired my ailment - since the marathon VA road trips, I have had very angry upper back muscles, particularly on the left side. Before my chiro visit, I was having tinglies from fingertips up (thumb, index and ring, for those wondering) when sitting in certain positions. That has mostly gone away, but I could certainly feel the tightness and tingle on the trainer today. I'm guessing that beer and massages would be the best way to address the problem.

How long would it take you to get up to speed on sailing one of those rigs?
I guess another way of asking is, how scalable are the basics of sailing? Do square sails make much of a difference in movement?

Grrrr, the thread is doing it to me again - I can see that at least three more people have posted, but I can't get to page 212... until I make this post, I'm assuming.
edit - and there it is.

Hmmm - haven't paid attention to whether or not the back side of the hand was tingly, too. No pain, though - just tingling. And it continues past the wrist - it used to feel like a taut string from upper back to fingers, though that has diminished. I didn't realize how tense those muscles were until the chiro started working on them.

I have had that happen to me in other threads, but not for a while. Very frustrating.

See? Always an upside, you just have to search for it sometimes. I don't think I have much mouse action going on here, and I'm pretty sure you can make a 56 work... So, I have some bikes you can have should I succumb. I have to assume you'll be making your way to Boulder with the rest of the survivors, so once you get here, it's easily riding distance. The battery thing with the Di2 may be an issue, but I'll make sure they're all charged.

I was watching this thing on reenactors doing Columbus' voyage. It said the crews had to be trained how to operate the ships.

On a whim I picked up some blue cheese mustard from TJ's. Interested to find out if I made a mistake.

I like bleu cheese. I like mustard. Together, though, it sounds like... Eesh.

That's the theory behind the business: Stock a relatively limited number of products, but make them good quality. The belief is that you shouldn't need a choice of 7 different brands of Dijon mustard or 20 different types of soup to have a quality shopping experience. They recently opened a new place on Arch Street, not that far from my office and close to the Reading Terminal. I can go at lunch. The other one in town is not on my route home and not in a direction I would go during lunch. it also gets insanely crowded, especially before a snow storm. One year I went a day before an impeding storm and there was a long line just to get into the damn store. No thanks.

So I'm out at the garden center with the wife and kids and I just saw the most hilariously inappropriate Virgin Mary-esque garden statue ever.

Mrs datlas and I had a lunch date at a relatively new Lebanese restaurant. It was quite good.
I noticed this place and the sushi place we went to in Philly have a surcharge for credit card/discount for cash.
Is that the new normal??

I'd rather not post directly. IMO it doesn't take much imagination.

Some places in NYC used to do that, but it was (is?) against the CC vendor agreement.

indyfabz (or other train aficionados): whilst watching a train pass yesterday I got to noticing all the companies whose rail cars were included (NS, UP, CN, etc.). How does this work? Are the cars leased back and forth? Does someone keep track of each one?
