Not a joke, shockingly: the NY State Gov’t has a bill in progress to outlaw the use of salt during food preparation at a restaurant.
Lest you think I’m kidding or somehow misreading things, here’s the actual and complete text of the bill, including the justification behind it.
PROHIBITION ON SALT; RESTAURANTS. 1. NO OWNER OR OPERATOR [...]
I just got back from my meeting to discuss last weekend’s MRI results.
First, the good news: minus the bone fragments all over the place, my ankle hard structures are actually fine. No polio-victim brace necessary.
Now the bad news: Of the 5 or so tendons that hold the ankle together, three are damaged and one’s [...]

One week into the engagement and the planning engine has been thrown into gear. We’re looking at late August/early September, but that’s going to depend both on venue availability and people availability.

Bad news: I had to limp a very broken car home down a canyon. In the snow. With a donut-spare up front. And a badly hurt control arm.
Good news: I survived, got the car into the [...]
I think tonight might be the last night I’ve got to tape those protective plates over my eyes! That’d be exciting – I dislike having to scrape the left-over adhesive off of my skin in the mornings.

As reported on Saturday, my vision is presently 20/15 which is pretty darn good. My night vision is probably about 90-95% of what it was with glasses and should improve somewhat in the weeks to come.
Here’s the summary of how the whole thing went down.

I took an unsupervised sunglasses shopping trip today and found a couple pairs that _I_ think look good on me.
First up: the Smith Optics “Parallel Max“. Interchangeable lenses; polarized; comes with two additional sets of lenses.
Next: Wiley-X “Airrage“. ANSI-rated for high-velocity impact (rock to the face on the motorcycle); removable foam gasket (wind block); light-sensitive [...]
