Bad Tippers
Gotta love spam… “Ezra, we guarantee that you will stop smoking!” I can guarantee it too… I don’t smoke. I even try not to get second hand smoke! WTF? Gonna go home and take a nap. Definitely will take some allergy meds. Tired cause I’m not getting enough oxygen (racing heartbeat and sich). Birthday parties are weird.…

TBI
Love a good trip. Went to TN as we have the past few years for Labor Day weekend. Gorgeous mountains, great people, and lots of time to just kick back. It is 7 hours of driving (one way), but well worth it.

Pulmonary Embolism
One of my co-workers, a rather large fellow though not as big as me, had a scare with his blood pressure. Early reports we got at work was that it had symptoms of a pulmonary embolism. Blood clots in the blood are scary enough… that they lodge and backup the flow of blood is terrifying.…

First Step to Gaming Addiction
There are people I know and people I think I know via a few routes of 3-4 degrees of separation but am not really sure. So I think I recognize them and can think of why I should recognize them.

Bike Trail
Work Saturday morning was not terrible. I hear we were complimented. Noticed I had a tendency to cradle my hands in front of me. Think that is a weird nervous habit. Went driving yesterday afternoon. Followed this “bike trail” for 75 miles. Figure it must go across the state along some of the most backwater…
