😂🤣 no tears... that's the first step. You put on your stoic face & say "I am stronger than the weather." ...which might not be totally true but it's a powerful statement!

Left over taco meat and focaccia, probably.

I need to figure out breakfast. 😅

Watched Superman last night. Superman actor wasn't quite Superman material, very small and soft looking...okay for CK but Superman is supposed to be chiseled 🤷‍♀️. Feels like it missed the mark on everything, could've been campy but wasn't, could've been comedic but wasn't, could've been dramatic but wasn't... I could go on but I won't. It was watchable #notanodereview

Next time

And its 10 am now.

So far barbecue has been my best bet.. I found one southern Asian fusion restaurant was great. And there was an Italian restaurant in Ohio that had a really good homemade gnocchi (and good wine). Also, really hard to go wrong with steak. There's a bar in Oklahoma that does surprisingly good steak.

I see you droped the recipe below. Maybe I'll have to make shwarma for my last in town meal.

Morning coffee thoughts:

This week ive been spending time with people. Hell even went on a date (it was not great but thats another story) and I gotta say im pretty disappointed in people.

Where I live is predominantly left leaning on the political spectrum, Which I guess is kind of important for context here. On the date and while hanging out with people work was of course brought up and the fact that I spend a lot of time in rural America now was part of the discussion.

And I guess the part that disappointed me was that instead of asking me if I'd had any interesting encounters or seen anything cool or eaten any place interesting.....It was always, oh, urg how do you even tolerate being out there? The people must be the worst. And things along those lines.

I guess it was just a stark reminder of how "other-ised" and blind people still are, always thinking that the other is bad. At least in my experience, people are just people. And you probably have more in common with some random person than you think. To immediately categorize them because of a geographical location is fucking insane. We're all just trying to live our fucking lives to the best of our abilities. And you don't have to see eye to eye with somebody to be civil towards them. You can respectfully disagree with people.

Maybe I'm naive, but People on an individual level are never really *that* bad. Its crowds and large groups where people become unreasonable. (Nb4 there are exceptions to everything.)

Blech. Anyways. GM.

Anyone that's switched from a traditional shoe to a "barefoot" shoe, low drop/wide toe box. Did you find the need to use an adjustment period to strengthen your feet? I've been reading that you should slowly build up to all day wearing. I usually have around a 7.5k step morning walk and don't want to create any injuries when switching, but want some first hand experience from others who have made the switch and if they have experienced any issues during the transition.

The studio's first gameIt Takes Two was really good too. I'd say better, even. We didn't like Split Fiction as much. the gameplay wasn't as cooperative as It Takes Two.

full report for friends asking:

Freak accident last night, slipped and fell at a BBQ, and a fillet knife sliced my peroneal nerve and a major artery, all the way into my shin bone. I didn’t feel anything, but I looked down and saw my bone and the wound pouring.

I was bleeding out fast. I applied pressure with my hand directly on the exposed artery and bone and hopped over to my friends. My friends and I tied a tank top around the wound, jammed in a pen for a makeshift tourniquet, wound it up tight to stop the bloodflow, then made two more above and below the wound with our shirts. That quick response bought me enough time for my friend to get me to the ER.

We waited in the ER for about an hour before getting seen by a nurse. She opened the tourniquet, took pressure off, and she got sprayed, shin exposed, artery wide open. She tried to clean it a bit the we out the pressure back on. Then we sat in the hallway to wait for a doctor.

The ER doc said they weren’t equipped to stop the bleeding. At this point I’m getting dizzy and shaky cause the shock was wearing off. Very nervous. They said they weren’t outfitted to handle that kind of bleeding, so they didn’t want to dress it. They spent some time debating whether to gamble and try to close it themselves, or spend hours transferring me to a severe trauma surgeon in another hospital.

Finally, one doctor made the call. He joked I was holding up the patient line. He opened the tourniquet, cleaned the wound, and stitched the artery, deep tissue, fascia, and everything back together, inside and out. Two hours and several injections of antibiotics and pain killers later, I was stitched up and stable.

I’m home now. Stuck in bed, leg elevated. Can’t walk or move much. The pain didn’t hit until this morning and it’s unbearable to be honest. Never had anything like it. The doctors said I’m incredibly lucky.

Still waiting to see if I’ll need surgery, depending in how the nerves and tissues heal, and how bad the nerve damage is. Had a nice house call today to reassess and clean and get more pain killers and antibiotic injections. They said fortunately it was a very sharp knife, so the nerves may reconnect smooth. There’s a lot of parts of my leg that numb out randomly, and some drop foot when I try to move, but I’m optimistic it will heal well. Not too much bleeding so the artery seems good. Just monitoring for infection and trying to manage pain and inflammation now.

No swimming, no jiu-jitsu, no walking for a while. But I’m really grateful for the helpful visitors, my neighbors, the support, and especially the friends who stayed calm under pressure and saved my life.

Anyway, accidents happen. Going as well as can be. I’m definitely going to invest some more time into emergency prep, and I think it's worthwhile for everyone to consider learning some basics too. If you have any suggested material on this please send it 🤙

Scallops?

Can't tell if serious on first pic lol. Upon closer inspection one is laying on its side

Most cup fungi don't fluoresce a lot, but ultraviolet light reveals unusual chemistry in this unknown Helotiales from Monteverde, Costa Rica.

Anybody have any advice?

🤣 I am a fan of the braid

Sometimes you have to ask yourself, is this necessary? And then tell yourself, no but who cares?

There are still places like that in the US. Not many...
