OUCH! OUCH! DAMN! OUCH! SHIT! OUCH!
0637 hours and I just arrived at my desk. The area right between my eyes is screaming in sharp pain. It’s beginning to swell up and I am going to have to figure out a way to make the pain ratchet down.
About 15 minutes ago, I was riding in to the office in a nice dry 52 degree morning. The light was still in that glowing early morning, sun not quite over the horizon mode. Beautiful. I took the back roads and was passing some open fields. The traffic was light as I was beating most of the workers to the office.
WHAP! Ouch! Another bug hits me in my face. I am used to it and it doesn’t bother my much anymore… Unless that bug is a yellow jacket. Sting! Right between the eyes.! Shit that hurt. I quickly pull over and confirm it was a yellow jacket and whip it away. My face hurts.
I figure maybe the cold air will help and I continue into the office for another fifteen minutes. The pain worsens until I arrive in the parking lot where they let motorcycles park for free, saving us the $100 plus car drivers have to pay.
Now that I am at my desk and there is no riding and traffic watching to do, I can now really focus on the pain.
This is going to be a crap day. I can just tell.

A PARTICULARLY BAD DAY:
CHARLOTTE, N.C. — A man who grabbed a knife to try to get his two young children out of a locked car died when he fell on the blade, Charlotte police said.
The Charlotte Observer reported that 22-year-old Miguel Angel Rivera Lemus died Sunday afternoon at Carolinas Medical Center after being stabbed in the chest.
Charlotte-Mecklenburg police were investigating but said Lemus’ death appears to have been an accident.
Lemus and his wife had dropped by their apartment briefly before planning an errand when they realized they had locked their children and keys in the car, authorities said.
The woman searched for spare keys and Lemus grabbed a large butcher knife he hoped to use to pry open a window, police said. Lemus fell down six stairs and landed on the knife, police said.
The woman got the children out with the spare keys.

TALK ABOUT HIS ANGER COMING TO A HEAD!!!
The businessman then reportedly tied one end of a rope he kept in his Aston Martin convertible to a tree and wrapped the other end of it around his neck as he sat in the driver’s seat. He then drove the car at a high speed onto a busy road, forcing other drivers to witness his violent suicide, the Mail said.
END OF AN ERA
PBS to cut Mister Rogers’ Neighborhood!
Yes, yes, you read that right. Sad but true, the Public Broadcasting Service, better known as PBS, has decided to cut Mister Rogers’ Neighborhood. If ever there were such a thing as true classic television, that has since gained cult status among us adults, it would be Mister Rogers’ and that crazy red cardigan of his. He will be sorely missed by a large portion of Americans, even if out of nostalgia.

I’ve Got Some Sad News
The Pillsbury Doughboy died yesterday of a yeast infection and trauma
complications from repeated pokes in the belly. He was 71.Doughboy was buried in a lightly greased coffin. Dozens of celebrities turned out to pay their respects, including Mrs. Butterworth, Hungry Jack, the California Raisins, Betty Crocker, the Hostess Twinkies, and Captain Crunch. The gravesite was piled high with flours.
Aunt Jemima delivered the eulogy and lovingly described Doughboy as a man who never knew how much he was kneaded. Doughboy rose quickly in show business, but his later life was filled with turnovers. He was not considered a very smart cookie, wasting much of his dough on half-baked schemes. Despite being a little flaky at times he still was a crusty old man and was considered a positive roll model for millions. Doughboy is survived by his wife Play Dough; two children, John Dough and Jane Dough, plus they had one in the oven. He is also survived by his elderly father, Pop Tart.

Yes, I am alive…
Hey gang. Hope everyone is doing better than me.
In case you haven’t hard, I was involved in a dramatic car crash on Saturday the 19th of July. I was driving into own to get some lunch and drop by the ATM on my way to the lake for the afternoon. On my way down the mountain I had a hypoglycemic blackout. I crossed across 3 lanes of traffic, cut a phone pole in half and smashed into the front of an empty restaurant. Live power lines fell over my car & they had to cut power to a chunk of town to pull me out. I got medevaced by helicopter to UAB hospital in Birmingham.
I have had my right hip rebuilt. The ball in my hip joint was smashed through the socket and back out agin. I also had to have a broken nose set.
