What a great image!
Wash: Little River just gets more colorful by the moment. What'll she do next? Zoe: Either blow us all up or rub soup in our hair. It's a toss-up. Wash: I hope she does the soup thing. It's always a hoot, and we don't all die from it.

Love is stronger than death and harder than sorrow. Those who practice it are fierce like the light of stars traveling eons to pierce the night.
Tres Groovy.

Bike party kind of gets on my nerves with the "we are too cool for helmets" thing. I think I should have gotten involved right when they started it.
I like that the city kids are into it, though. Actually, my friend and I were riding around the reservoir near sarameg's yesterday evening and we had to cut our ride short due to too many small kids learning to ride/acting as obstacles. THEY were all wearing helmets, though. And were super cute if super dangerous. It was really pretty great seeing all the folks out being fit!

I've heard it is, though if you don't like crowds, nsm. Last one was 1700 people. No idea on this one, but it had been locally covered in media since, so possibly larger. I don't know if this was the first time the PD has accompanied them, but it sounds like maybe? There were negotiations with the PD and City at the last minute on the route. At one point, it was coming within 25 yd of me. And the website has alluded to growing pains due to size.
There's such a huge disconnect between cops and black kids here (hello, the stop snitching campaign came out of here) that it's nice to see stuff that lets them be KIDS and protected by cops.

I'm pretty sure they had a police escort last month because the mayor rode with them, btw.

I'm just an observer, I have no idea about the politics of helmet within the leadership (FTR, I'm extremely WEAR A FUCKING HELMET. It saved my dad's life at least thrice. I would have lost him for sure at 15 were it not for one.)

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Oh, thank goodness! The baking soda/vinegar didn't seem to work, so I tried the other internet suggestion of boiling water, and that seems to have done it! (Which actually makes a lot of sense, since it was only raw veg in there and cooked veg is softer, right?)

In terms of inflamtion. My Mom has gone on the nonightshades diet - no tomatoes, potatoes, sweet peppers (green peppers and such) no hot peppers, no chiles, no paprika, no red pepper, no eggplant, no tobacco. White and black pepper is still OK. It has helped her a lot. Warning: the science behind looks like total bullshit, but I'm not going to tell her to stop doing something that results in less pain. The nice thing about it is that if works, it works within 48 hours at most, usually a lot less so if you don't see improvement within a couple of days you can forget it. I know other people who it works for. I suspect what is going on is an allergy to those things rather than the reasons given.
