Road Cycling “It is by riding a bicycle that you learn the contours of a country best, since you have to sweat up the hills and coast down them. Thus you remember them as they actually are, while in a motor car only a high hill impresses you, and you have no such accurate remembrance of country you have driven through as you gain by riding a bicycle.” -- Ernest Hemingway

Damn you and your JC idea. Now I'm thinking about these 280g hoops for $330 a pair

Another question for the docs. My surgeon told me he would write the prescription for antibiotics for the full six weeks. He wrote it for one week. Does that wound correct? I have no idea how to find him and ask.

However, here's a video describing an interesting demonstration of why you should wear a mask to protect others. It's from the lab of NIH colleague, Ad Bax, whom you can also look up on Strava.

One week sounds better than six for something that isn't infected.

My wife got home from a lab draw a few minutes ago and I happily told her about our stimulus check and we should figure out what to buy. #excited

She informed me that it's going to be donated to a local food bank. #disappointed

Six weeks does NOT sound correct. One week is likely plenty. If you washed it out really well and they irrigated it, I wonder if you even need any antibiotics but do advise you follow your doctor's recommendations. For your own sanity, you may want to call and ask for clarification.

Yes the mask protects others and NOT the user. But people don't get it.

I heard that a significant percentage of Americans (1/3?) actually believe COVID19 was created in a lab. Sad!

I've heard that too. BTW, the creators of the laser video say short people are more likely to be infected than tall people. Duh. I hate being talked down to.

I LOVE this mini pump. But I would like it to be about 30-40% shorter so it would fit in my pocket better. Does anyone know of a good super small pump with a flexible hose?
