my mom was a nurse before she had 5 kids and she impressed upon us the germ bomb. Drilled it into our heads to wash hands all the time even when thinking about going to the bathroom. I credit my infrequent illnesses over the years to the fact that I took her advice to heart and I drank a lot of coffee which guaranteed I washed my hands about 20 times a day. Every winter my hands are a dry, chapped and cracked mess. Hand cream is for sissies (and people who want soft un-chapped skin).

We now rely on hand cleaner, which is full of moisturizing agents. There is a dispenser outside every clinic or inpatient unit and each room within, and doctrine is to use it each time you pass the threshold in either direction. My hands are baby soft after a week on service.

Pops has come down with some type of infection in his digestive tract. He's back in the hospital. He can't keep anything in. This has been going on for a while, and slowly getting worse. We are waiting gor the hospital to get a diagnosis on whatever this is, so far....nothing.

R.I.P. Rick Sieman. I met him, he was very friendly and he was a clever, very funny writer.

I did my usual 59 mile Sunday route today. I took the Canyon, which has been clamped on the trainer for weeks now. I wanted to experience it IRL for a change. Wow, is it a NICE bike! Comfy, fast, stiff - pretty near perfect! It was one of those days where if you start out too early, you put on too many layers and end up either sweat soaked or carrying the extras. As it was, I felt underdressed for most of the first 6 miles, but once I got out of the San Mateo Creek canyon, it was much better.
I noticed that now, with winter only days away, the first green shoots are appearing. Soon, the golden brown of Summer and Fall will be replaced with the lush green of Winter.
California is weird. But I like that.

Washing after (or before) you pee seems like mainly a good way of making sure you clean your hands a few times a day.
We now rely on hand cleaner, which is full of moisturizing agents. There is a dispenser outside every clinic or inpatient unit and each room within, and doctrine is to use it each time you pass the threshold in either direction. My hands are baby soft after a week on service.

Then again after of course too.

But seeing that we've already received more rain in December than in the three months prior, I might as well acknowledge that I've become a quasi-west coaster.

Assuming the electricity and water continued to work, if the biggest Knox County December snowstorm in the last 50 years hit overnight, I would have no problem sheltering in place for several days until help arrived.

If a 50-year storm hits, that wouldn't be much of an emergency plan. Ask me how I know.

The old Velo Vol would have said "wut".
But seeing that we've already received more rain in December than in the three months prior, I might as well acknowledge that I've become a quasi-west coaster.

I doubt that "help" would arrive at VeloVol's house just because it snowed.

I do. That was in March. It's December. Decembers generally aren't very snowy. My readiness plan factors this in. #MOTD
