  1. I took some naproxen before I went to bed, and my neck is feeling better. I took some advil when I got up. I think I'm okay. The neck pain could have been from anything. Yeah, it's a bad situation. Honestly, she should be in a nursing home, but I think she's refused to go.
  2. I was wearing a flannel shirt. I got scratched more than my watch did, I'm sure. It was hot as fuck, too, so the flannel shirt didn't appreciate it. Wabi Sabi. I used to get irritated when my knives got scratched. What's the fucking point of having them if they don't get used for the intended use? I finally realized what Steve Jobs realized a long time ago. I wish I had a ground up iPod. It would be honest. Perfect looking backpacking boots just means you haven't been backpacking. That ultra thin JLC is scratched up. I wore it, and I scratched it up.
  3. if a tool watch can't take all of that, it's not a tool watch. No matter how expensive. I chopped wood wearing my pre-moon Speedy, last weekend. Did I scratch it? Probably. We all die, and every mechanical device breaks down. We only have the wear to show for it.
  4. I think it's a wonderful watch.
  5. I don't really believe in beaters. If you are worried about being robbed, just don't wear a watch. I wouldn't wear that on a "night on the town." Nights on the town imply a jacket, for me, at minimum, so I wear my ultra thin JLC.
  6. That is a killer Seiko! Nice quasi-Breguet numerals, and I love the straight-grained dial. Who was the strap maker?
  7. I think I might have whiplash. My neck didn't start hurting until after I dug a spare TV antenna out for my 90 year old neighbor across the hall, when she broke hers. I'm ashamed that I did think, briefly, to just tell her her TV was broken, since I'm sick of hearing ABC at 110 decibels every night, but I didn't. When she had a medical emergency, last month, she gave my info as her son (she has family, family that she has given every ounce of herself and finances to supporting, so that should say something about what she has gotten in return), so I guess I'm just being familial. My neck is killing me now, though.
  8. My mother forgetting how to use her email = me rear ended. No superficial damage, but I'm on the phone with my insurance company, now. The other driver literally threw his paper insurance card at me and drove off, after we determined that nobody was injured.
  9. How many foils are you going to go through? And I don't think ordering in Italian is going to held in Salt Late.
  10. Thanks, Dusty. I hope that is this HR person. I'm sick of being runner up! Eventually everybody better than me is going to get a job, right?
  11. You're right: death squads. I'll keep that in my pocket.
  12. Thanks! And be careful on your bike, Ken.
  13. Thanks Nate. I can't even seem to break a bone, these days.
  14. I think all I can manage is one or the other!
  15. Thanks, Antonio! I'm going to even have answers to common questions prepared, that's how much I want it.
  16. I wonder who is making the stuff. They certainly look the part.
  17. It looks tough without being too terribly bulky looking. That's a difficult line to walk on. I'm a fan of the left-handed crown, too.
  18. I set up a phone interview for a job I badly want, for next Wednesday. University IT director position, 5 minute commute, excellent pay and benefits. and for once it's a job where people on my reference list are known quantities, and respected ones. I applied Tuesday, so it seems that they are moving fairly quickly.
  19. Because I know what the CD of the base and R versions is, Jim. it's published, and easily searchable. Unless you think Honda has magic that no other car company has, a mere comparison and look at construction can only lead to one logical conclusion. If you do think they have magic, well, it doesn't seem to be helping them much in F1. I'm out on this topic. The car is a dog, there is a reason it's "limited" here in the US, and the first owners are morons who will pay 25-50% over MSRP for an ugly Civic.
  20. I'm aware of all of that (not the shit part). The point is that the giant wing on the back of the Civic R adds almost nothing to the base car CD. It does nothing. It's impossible for an effective wing of that size to add nearly no drag. The fact that the wing is hollow plastic and bounces when you touch it says everything: it was not made to actually handle aerodynamic forces. A hollow plastic wing would be torn off very quickly, if it actually added downforce. An effective aerodynamic element would require significant stiffness. We don't live in an ideal world, Jim.
  21. I said THE math, not A math.
