1. Friday, I picked one of the "shorty" carts at Walmart to go purchase necessary's. When I got my stuff into the car and went to park my car I noticed another shorty in the other, blocked, cart park. Being a good Smartin, I thunk "these shorties have to be separated because they don't connect with the "longies", I'll be a nice guy and pair'em. Ignoring the "don't shove no carts on this side" gate, I opened it and run it backwards to link with the other shorty cart. I turned and started out of the thingamajigger and had the bright idea of "turnstile" jumping the gate. I hadn't done this kind of thing in years and I leapt a little too early WHOP! my left shin caught the top of the gate, which didn't give. Open mouth to full extent, can't scream cause it hurt too bad. YEEEOWWW! in my head, I got in the car and then the OUUUUCCCH! came, followed by air bluing. It grazed my shin good and swole up and hurts to put weight on it. I couldn't work on Buttercup yesterday because of it and there's a knot on it still. I don't think it's broken, maybe a hairline crack, I've had those before, at the very least a bruised bone. I'm gonna give Buttercup the old school try, today. The weather is perfect today for this kinda work. Quick heal, requested.
2. It took so long for number one, I plum forgot the rest. It can't be too important. Mebbe later.
Sending up a quick for you : Let us know how it turns out.
Reminds me of one time I hurt my knee. I used to bike to a bus stop across a bridge every day (I still go there once in a while, but nothing as consistent as I used to). One way, the bridge is downhill, and there a pedestrian walkway that I get to fly down when it's early morning and there's little foot traffic. This one particular time I was coasting and accidentally brushed up against the chain link fence that borders the walkway and the plunge about 100 feet below, into the Allegheny. My knee hit something fierce; it was blunt force, so there wasn't blood. But it hurt like hell...so much so that I got a little nauseated. I didn't yell or cry but I ended up just kinda laughing. Human nerves are a strange thing that act on paradox in some situations.
