Neat video, ita!
Seven bags of leaves, DONE. Yeah, there are leaves falling, still, but at least this way my lawn won't be plastered with quite as many wet leaves when the rain hits this afternoon.
Reavers ain't men. Or they forgot how to be. Now they're just nothing. They got out to the edge of the galaxy, to that place of nothing, and that's what they became.

Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."
Good for you, Anne! The SO went out to work on clearing his buddy's land (pine needles, not leaves) but it was still snow covered. I'm okay with that and he and the dog are now hanging out watching tv and waiting for a) non-turkey turkey tetrazzini and b) apple butter. It is a very winter foods type day.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!
Once there was a girl who got pulled over and, when the cop asked her if she knew why he had pulled her over, she joked, "Because of the body in my trunk?"
The cop was less than amused. "Ma'am, could you please open your trunk for me?"
She got off with a warning and a lot of dirty looks.
Ladies and gentlemen, my little sister.

Trust my rage
ita, I'm a bit fuzzy on the details, but I think I remember Dave Zabriskie (pro cyclist) going gluten-free. Part of the reasoning behind it was that, for distance cyclists, there is a lot of muscle repair each night and the gluten supposedly slowed down the healing by causing inflammation. I'm going to look and see if I can find something about it, but that was the general idea.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Without having done any research myself, I feel like there are a lot of wackadoo health claims around various dietary changes. That said, if they aren't leading to malnutrition, I vote whatever works for you.

Yeah, I mean, I'm sure for some people going, say, vegan helps them. For others it doesn't. And for others it helps because of psychosomatic stuff--but hey, it helps. As long as no one is preaching that I need to do it...(obviously there are many reasons other than health to be vegan)
I finally took mysel to the urgent care clinic. I have pneumonia. Am now in the pharmacy waiting for drugs. Apparently my pulse is in the fat burning zone all on its own (and my pulse ox is not so hot)

Yeah, exactly.

Also, ugh pneumonia! That's no fun. Can you take sick time?

Gah! Feel better, meara! I'm glad you went to the doctor.
