Land Rovers, Self Medication, and Oral Sex With Karl Rove!

Hey, Guys.....I'm fine.....sorta. The other guy was totally at fault. His steering broke and he careened across the highway at us, both vehicles going about 40 on a stretch of road known up here in Big Bear as "The Arctic Circle" (Not to be confused with Bey Buchannan).

Fortunately the Rover murderer's got Triple-A insurance and they've accepted all liability. No one was hurt at all. In fact, in the Land Rover the engine moved back and then up, finally taking a seat that blocked the entire window. I looked down and discovered (ha ha .... that's a pun...) that there was not one dent or bending of ANYTHING in the passenger compartment. It really was amazing. All the right things crumpled, and absolutely nothing was touched where we were sitting. I kept thinking that it might have been much different in the Bronco I had a few years ago. So.....I'm looking at Range Rovers now.

Now......the car smash up turned out fine, but my own smash up occurred off my front deck last Thursday morning, and that one wasn't as clean. That's why I haven't been Blogging and Flogging with my usual irritating regularity. When I stepped down off the concrete deck my left foot ended up sort of across the bow, rather than facing straight forward, and it rolled right under me tearing all the cartilege along the outboard side. (What the hell is with this nautical shit?? Weird.....). So for the last few days I've been basically sitting on the couch with an elevated left leg at the end of which sits something that looks kind of like an anvil changing into an eggplant. In my pain and boredom I've rediscovered the joys of an old hobby of mine: Self Medication! Truly one of the more rewarding pastimes I've ever passed time (or out) with. I'd have to term it a "Higher Calling".

OK. I'll stop.

Anyway, that's where I've been. It's just uncomfortable to sit in my office here, and with the resumption of my old hobby I simply haven't given a rats ass. On top of that, this eggplant thingy trying to pass as my foot has made sleep impossible. Every time I doze off I do something stupid like try to turn over and then I wake right up. In fact I haven't slept at all in two nights. I'm so tired now that I don't think that'll be a problem tonight.

So, it's getting better, and things should get back to normal here during the next week or so. Once things become normal around here, everybody will be sure there's something wrong. They've certainly never been normal before.Sorry I haven't filled everybody in. If I was dead I would have let you know.

Oh, and Rick, Karl Rove did go down, but that was for Halliburton.

L8R, Gang.
