If not for boomers you’d still be tracking your patients by paper files.

Popped up on my FB feed this morning. Pic from 1988. Pirated the field for the win.

Looking towards Saturday ride with a terrible dilemma. The forecast is for rain, not heavy, but real rain showers, with temps in the upper 40's to near 50. So my quandry is whether to do a solo rain ride (none of my friends are crazy enough to ride in the rain with me) or to do a group ride on Zwift.
Should I post in the 41 with a poll??

I make an early trip to the airport a couple time a year. Empty roads going in, of course. Today's return trip was still dark, with the addition of heavy fog, on the two lane road. It was surprising how many vehicles were on the road with no lights. For motorcycles it was the rule, rather than the exception. Made one think thrice before pulling out to pass. And then there is the ever present assortment of invisible bicycles and pedestrians. Folks don't give a thought to making themselves visible.

This was the infamous Giro beer cooler helmet with a cloth cover. I think it’s been mentioned here before. I crashed later that Spring and woke up in the hospital with a concussion and broken scapula. At the time, the USCF was investigating whether the “stickiness” of the cloth cover increased the chance of head injury when it “stuck” to the pavement on contact.
By the time that I got out of the hospital, both Giro and the USCF wanted the smashed helmet for research and was picked up at my house.
Pretty sure that the helmet was removed from the market ~1990.

This helmet cover is red/white/blue.
