Had my oral surgery today. Wasn't as big of a deal as I thought it would be, guy seemed to know what he was doing and he reassured me. I got the gas for the first time ever. It was not what I expected, either. Might have been fine without it but the last time I had a similar procedure I had general anesthesia. Novocain hasn't worn off yet.
Turns out my insurance does not cover it so I put it on the credit card. Frack. I had so much anxiety over this for the last couple weeks.

Anxious to see difference with just one hose/cable per side.

Bam will never post another cockpit pic. We're just a bunch of judgmental a-holes.

Given that it can't predict a last second swerve or a dangerously close approach path, is there any real advantage to it versus just being attentive? I can't glance back at every car to make sure they're not headed directly for my rear tire.
