Ankle & foot pain didn’t let me sleep well, partially from pain and apprehension.
Plan for today is seek medical attention to fix the source of pain. Brevard lacked an Urgent Care but S of Asheville has 1. Drove up, short wait time. Interacted w/ dr. Said it is not a blood clot as it lacks the redness, swelling, & hardness. Even if it was a clot it was in the foot and would be considered superficial. He was surprised that the Mansfield doc prescribed the Lovelux as normal treatment would be elevation & warmth. I am on killer vitamin I regimen like 400 mg 3X for a week. And an antacid kicker.
Stopped at a sports medicine clinic to see if a bike fit could be performed. A PT there is an avid biker. Made appointment for tomorrow, now I am wrestling w/ a prescription for the pt.
Shopped new REI in Asheville seeking warmer gloves and a warm feet solution. New store in mega shopping district, no old building make over. Bought warmer gloves & waterproof socks and handwarmers for my sore foot. Learned some ride ideas back @ Dupont Forest that I might try.
Learned that Asheville is 17 inches of rain behind for the year and this is their 3rd year of drought. I made mention about not being able to ride because of the rain and then I learned of their situation. I want the world and I want it now as Morrison sang in a Doors song. I want sunny skies & dry trails when I am in your home town.
Moonshine I bought is flavored w/ natural & artifical flavors sort of like a liquor: sweet & sticky. Come join me and I will pour you all the shots the bottle has in it.
Wide Stance Larry Craig’s appeal was denied. OJ drew 9 years for his robbery act. GM wants more money from next administration. Merril Lyynch CEO wants 10 mil bonus because company only lost 11.6 bil. Put these in your time capsule.
