The body aches are part of the general immune response. When your body is fighting off anything it deems foreign or invasive, it releases a whole host of chemical mediators to join in the fight. It's why you also are fatigued and have brain fog.

Thank you. That was a better understandable explanation then given by the doctor.

Good morning denizens of the diner. It is really foggy out. I was in the fog Monday but now feel much better. I’m taking preventative care with my sinuses.

About travel, dad drove us to Northern California in 1963 in an Oldsmobile, dad’s favorite car. After Iowa rolling hills until we got to Colorado, . I loved Colorado and then the Mountains. California along the coast was beautiful.

The trip paid off, as I got my best grades in geography!

My mom used to give us hot toddies when we were sick with a cold or flu.

I have had Medicinal Booze a few times.


Many more, I made something up as a "reason," like I needed one.


*burp*

My husband was from Kansas. He used to say if you only have 2 weeks to live, spend it in Kansas. It will feel like forever!

There was/is a really neat park not too far from Manhattan KS where one can see all manner of ecological evolution from, I think, the Great Inland Sea We didn't stop and visit as we were on a Mission From Gawahd but there was good viewing even at 70 MPH zooming by.


I'd go back.

Michigan is similar, drive the coastline. It’s beautiful in the summer or late spring.

Yeah, I'll agree that it's kinda far going up the mitten bit. Wat has some old anvil bits that came from up that way. And an old anvil from southern Wisconsin, too.

Now that I think of it, saline spray is helpful with some of that sinus crap, too. I used to use it for prevention. It did seem to help.

I know. 0417 EST. How TF did that happen?


Allah must require some shit done today.

My first job was working in an orange juice factory, but I got canned: couldn't concentrate.

Atheism is a non-prophet organisation.

There was once a cross-eyed teacher who couldn't control his pupils.

I break into song if I can't find the right key.

I was going to buy a book on phobias, but I was afraid it wouldn't help me.

I did a theatrical performance about puns. Really it was just a play on words.

A man walks into a zoo, where the only animal was a dog. It was a shih tzu.

Gold, nipple caresser!

Gold, I tell ya!

Seriously… that is some funny shit!

 

[Wat_Tyler]

Up. Coffee. Laundry is underway. So is unpacking since Wat no longer has to maintain a Road Travel Bag/Kit. This will be a nice touch.

Somehow, we managed to use all the boxes that Wat salvaged from the former job site. So he reckons that trip to dumpster dive at the local liquor store will yield some broken boxes. There is still a shitload of packing tape. Anything bigger for books and "hobby parts" will be too fucking heavy to move anyway.

The western coastline? Or the UP one?

Ain't that the fuckin' truth!

Was going to be back to the grind for me tomorrow... but someone asked for driver service for in-patient surgery before I cancelled my vacation day.
Will be an early day of Up and Driving Miss Daisy followed by Waiting until there's news of how things went.
Hip replacement - nothing scary
So my attendance may be spotty still

Nothing scary untill they get out the power tools!

Glad you are feeling better, b2! Glad that it was quick.

Some
Of those road trips are so memorable! Love that.

My wife and I have a bucket list to do a road trip up the coast of California.

I’ve been to the Washington and Oregon coast and they are beautiful!

I'd go back.

I haven’t been through Kansas since I was a kid.

I do recall cornfields and many Stuckeys.

I guess they were the Buck-ees of the day.

 

[Wat_Tyler]

The kids did the Alaska cruise thingie. That seems like a good idea.


Then there is the South America/Antarctic cruise, too. That's something like 5 months long and half a year's pay.

 

[Wonderer67]

The western coastline? Or the UP one?

I forgot that Michigan was a mitten and there’s East Coast too.

Damn, my geography used to be so much better than this…

They were, of a more suck-ass type.

I remember seeing some oil pump rigs and two camels. I told Dr. Tyler a lie about the shyster salesman who convinced the Indians to trade their horses for camels and that's why they lost. Turns out the Army had a camel corps during the mid-19th century. Not for long, but there was one.

It’s a sign.

A bad one… but it’s a sign, nevertheless.

Beware. No telling where that thumb had been.

The western coastline? Or the UP one?

The west coast of lower peninsula is the best. The UP northern coast is next best. Lake Huron coast is OK but not as spectacular as the other two. The southern coast of the Up has very nice beaches with beautiful sand.

I stayed up a bit later, too. I did get a wee nap. Before long, I may develop a new "normal" sleep pattern . . .


whatever that is . . . .

The thumb smells funny.
